Procedure

Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0) (3.7 g, 0.003 mol) and 4-chlorophenylboronic acid (20.2 g, 0.13 mol) are added to a solution of 5-bromo-2-methylaniline (20 g, 0.1 mol) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (200 ml). After stirring the reaction mixture for 15 minutes at 20° C., a solution of 20% aqueous sodium carbonate (300 ml) is added to the mixture, and the resulting mixture is heated at reflux for 24 hours. The reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature, diluted with water (600 ml) and extracted using ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts are dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and the filtrate evaporated in vacuo. The residue is further purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with 7% ethyl acetate in hexane to give 3-amino-4′-chloro-4-methylbiphenyl (21.0 g).
