Reaction Steps

In a sealed tube, a mixture of commercially available 3-iodobenzoic acid (2.000 g; 8.06 mmol), 1H-1,2,3-triazole (1.113 g; 16.12 mmol), trans-N,N′-dimethylcyclohexane-1,2-diamine (236 mg; 1.61 mmol), Cs2CO3 (5.362 g; 16.12 mmol), and CuI (76 mg; 0.40 mmol) in anh. DMF (10 ml) was heated to 120° C. for 16 h. After cooling to rt, water was added, and the mixture was extracted with AcOEt. The separated aq. layer was acidified with aq. 1 M HCl, and extracted with AcOEt (3×). The mixed organic layers were dried over anh. MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. Purification by FC (DCM/MeOH/AcOH=20/1/0.1) afforded the two pure isomers:
