Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-iodo-4-trifluoromethyl aniline (5.0 g, 17.42 mmol), trimethylboroxane (3.64 ml, 26.1 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) palladium (1.0 g, 0.87 mmol) and potassium carbonate (4.82 g, 34.8) in DMF (10 ml) was heated to 100° C. for 48 h. The reaction was quenched with water (50 ml) and extracted with EtOAc (3×50 ml). The combined EtOAc layers were washed with brine and dried over sodium sulfate. The title compound was obtained after flash column using EtOAc:hexane/1:9 as the eluant. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz): δ 7.13 (s, 1H), 7.30 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 6.71 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 3.98 (br s, 2H), 2.21 (s, 3H).
