Reaction Steps

5-amino-2-bromo-4-chlorobenzonitrile (4 g, 17.28 mmol) and N-cyclohexyl-N-methylcyclohexanamine (5.55 mL, 25.9 mmol) were combined in a 250 ml flask and 2 ml of DMF was added. The flask was evacuated and backfilled with Ar 4×. A suspension of Pd2 (dba)3 (0.316 g, 0.346 mmol) and di-tert-butyl(2′-methyl-[1,1′-biphenyl]-2-yl)phosphine (0.324 g, 1.037 mmol) in CH3CN (32 mL) was heated at 60° C. for 1 min until the solids dissolved and then cooled to room temperature. The solution was added to the flask by syringe, and then but-3-en-1-ol (1.933 mL, 22.46 mmol) was added. The reaction was heated at 90° C. for 45 min. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and diluted with H2O, extracting 3× with EtOAc. The organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. The material was purified by flash column chromatography (0-70% EtOAc/Hex; 330 g column). 5-amino-4-chloro-2-(4-oxobutyl)benzonitrile (0.9 g) was obtained as yellow foam.
