Phenyl-1-naphthylamine → N-(4-Bromophenyl)-N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Adding 17.6 g of N,N′-dimethylethylenediamine into a solution prepared by mixing 21.9 g of N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine, 28.2 g of 4-bromoiodobenzene, 14.4 g of t-butoxysodium, 3.81 g of copper powder and 100 milliliter of xylene, the resultant solution was refluxed with heating under ambient atmosphere of argon gas for 24 hours. After cooling the resultant solution down to a room temperature, the solution was filtered and insolubles were removed followed by concentrating the filtrate. Refining the residue by means of a silicagel column chromatography, 25.4 g of N-(4-bromophenyl)-N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine was obtained.
