Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-bromo-2-nitroaniline 17 (1.0 g, 4.67 mmol), tributylphenyl tin (2.2 g, 6.07 mmol), bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (II) chloride (164 mg, 0.234 mmol), and triphenylphosphine (613 mg, 2.34 mmol) in DMF (15 ml) was heated under N2 at 120° C. overnight. After the solution was cooled to room temperature, the reaction mixture was directly chromatographed on silica gel eluting with 2-5% EtOAc/Hexane to give 752 mg (75%) of 5 as a yellow solid: mp 169-171° C.; IR (CHCl3) 3517, 3398, 3022, 1635, 1525, 1250; 1H NMR δ 8.38 (1H, d, J=2.2), 7.66 (1H, dd, J=8.7, 2.2), 7.59-7.54 (2H, m), 7.49-7.34 (3H, m), 6.90 (1H, d, J=8.8), 6.13 (NH, brs); 13C NMR δ 144.2, 139.3, 135.0, 130.9, 129.5, 127.8, 126.8. 124.4, 119.8, 112.8; Anal. Calcd for C12H10N2O2 : C, 67.28; H, 4.70; N, 13.08. Found: C, 67.38, H, 4.76; N, 13.01.
