Used Chemicals

• 4-Chloroanisole [C0122]
• Diphenylamine
• Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (= Pd₂(dba)₃) [T2184]
• Tri-tert-butylphosphonium Tetrafluoroborate (= tBu₃P?HBF₄) [T2584]
• Sodium tert-Butoxide (= NaOtBu) [S0450]
• Toluene

Procedure

To a 3-necked 300 mL round bottom flask was charged with diphenylamine (5.01 g, 29.6 mmol, 1.0 eq.), 4-chloroanisole (4.48 g, 31.4 mmol, 1.05 eq.) and degassed toluene (150 mL). To this solution was added Pd₂(dba)₃ (0.287 g, 0.131 mmol, 1 mol%), tri-tert-butylphosphonium tetrafluoroborate (0.198 g, 0.683 mmol, 2 mol%) and sodium tert-butoxide (6.34 g, 66.0 mmol, 2.2 eq.). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 16 hr under nitrogen atmosphere. After cooled to room temperature, the reaction was diluted with CH₂Cl₂ (300 mL). The suspension was filtered and the filtrate was dried over Na₂SO₄ and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the crude and brown solid. The crude product was purified by silica-gel column chromatography (hexane/EtOAc = 99/1 then 8/1) to afford the light brown solid (7.0 g) containing 10 mol% of diphenylamine. Removal of the residual diphenylamine by recrystallization from hexane (55 mL, 60 °C then 15 °C) gave 4-methoxytriphenylamine as a white solid (5.26 g, 65 %).

Experimenter’s Comments

The reaction mixture was monitored by TLC (EtOAc/hexane = 1/10. Starting materials: Rf = 0.36 (diphenylamine), 0.59 (4-chloroanisole); target product: Rf = 0.46).

• Sodium tert-Butoxide [S0450]
• Toluene

Procedure

1,4-Dichlorobenzene (500 mg, 3.40 mmol) and piperidine (869 mg, 10.2 mmol) were dissolved in degassed toluene (15.0 mL). To this solution was added sodium tert-butoxide (817 mg, 8.50 mmol), XPhos (65 mg, 0.136 mmol, 4 mol%) and Pd₂(dba)₃ (47 mg, 0.051 mmol, 1.5 mol%). The reaction was refluxed for 16 h and quenched with H₂O (15 mL) after cooling to room temperature. The organic phase was separated and washed with H₂O (10 mL) and brine (10 mL), dried over Na₂SO₄ (30 g), concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the crude product as brown solid, which was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (CH₂Cl₂ 100% → CH₂Cl₂: EtOAc = 30: 70) to afford the product 1 as a pale yellow solid. The obtained solid was dissolved in hexane and decolorized by activated carbon. After removal of activated carbon by filtration, the filtrate was concentrated to afford the product 1 as a white powder (782 mg, 2.66 mmol, 78%).

Experimenter's Comments

Toluene was degassed by refluxing under nitrogen atmosphere.
Completion of the reaction was confirmed by HPLC.
Obtained product was colorized gradually by the exposure of air and light.
