Reaction Steps

To a microwave reaction tube was added 4-bromo-2-fluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)aniline (256 mg, 1.0 mmol), 1-methylpiperazine (300 mg, 3 mmol) Pd2(dba)3 (91.5 mg, 0.1 mmol), di-tert-butyl(2′,4′,6′-triisopropylbiphenyl-2-yl)phosphine (60 mg, 0.2 mmol), NaOtBu (144 mg, 1.5 mmol) and THF (3 mL). After the reaction tube was degassed and filled with N2, the tube was heated to 120° C. in a microwave reactor for 40 min. The mixture was then poured into saturated NH4Cl aqueous solution (10 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×10 mL). The organic layers were combined and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, gradient MeOH/CH2Cl2, 0˜10%) to provide 2-fluoro-4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)aniline as a white solid. ESMS m/z 278.1 (M+H+).
