Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (R)-2-(5-benzyloxy-2-bromophenoxy)-1-(4-benzyloxyphenyl)ethylamine (120 mg, 0.238 mmol), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium (11 mg, 0.012 mmol), 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (15 mg, 0.024 mmol) and potassium-t-butoxide (37 mg, 0.330 mmol) in toluene (2.5 ml) was stirred for 3 hours at 100° C. under a nitrogen stream. After cooling, water was added to the reaction mixture, which was then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: ethyl acetate/hexane=1/5, v/v) to give (R)-7-benzyloxy-3-(4-benzyloxy-phenyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[1,4]oxazine (55.4 mg, Yield 55%).
