Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 3-bromo-4-cyanobenzoate (500 mg, 2.08 mmol), 2-methylpropan-1-amine (250 μL, 4.16 mmol), Pd2(dba)3 (96 mg, 5 mol %), Xantphos (120 mg, 10 mol %) and potassium phosphate (959 mg, 4.16 mmol) in dioxane (10 mL) was stirred for overnight at 95° C. After cooling to room temperature the mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated followed by column chromatography (10% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to give ethyl 4-cyano-3-[(2-methylpropylamino)]benzoate (393 mg, 76.7%) as a yellow solid. 1MS (EI) for C14H18N2O2: 247.1 (MH+).
