TCI Practical Example: Buchwald-Hartwig Amination Using Pd2(dba)3 and tBu3P·HBF4
We are proud to present the synthesis of 4-methoxytriphenylamine via Buchwald-Hartwig amination of 4-chloroanisole and diphenylamine by using Pd2(dba)3 and tBu3P·HBF4 as catalysts.

Procedure
-
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) were added to a 3-necked 300 mL round bottom flask. Then, Pd2(dba)3 (0.287 g, 0.131 mmol, 1 mol%), tBu3P·HBF4 (0.198 g, 0.683 mmol, 2 mol%) and sodium tert-butoxide (6.34 g, 66.0 mmol, 2.2 eq.) were added and the reaction mixture was refluxed for 16 h under nitrogen atmosphere. After cooled to room temperature, the reaction was diluted with dichloromethane (300 mL). The suspension was filtered and the filtrate was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the crude and brown solid. The crude product was purified by silica-gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate = 99:1 - 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) gave 4-methoxytriphenylamine as a white solid (5.26 g, 65 % yield).

Experimenter’s Comments
-
The reaction mixture was monitored by TLC (ethyl acetate:hexane = 1:10. Starting materials: Rf = 0.36 (diphenylamine), 0.59 (4-chloroanisole); target product: Rf = 0.46).
