Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A reaction mixture of tert-butyl 3-hydroxycyclohexylcarbamate (4 mmol, 861 mg), 1-fluoro-2-iodobenzene (5 mmol, 585 4), copper iodide (0.4 mmol, 76 mg), 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (0.8 mmol, 190 mg) and cesium carbonate (10 mmol, 3.26 g) in toluene (5 mL) was stirred at 110° C. for overnight under argon. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered through celite. The filtrate was concentrated. The mixture was purified by silica gel column chromatography. The product, tert-butyl 3-(2-fluorophenoxy)cyclohexylcarbamate, was eluted off the column using 15% EtOAc in Hexane.
