N,N-dibutyl-3-(chloromethyl)aniline 1
To a solution of 3-(dibutylamino)benzyl alcohol (3.8 g, 16.15 mmol) in dry THF (30 mL) under
nitrogen atmosphere was added PPh3 (6.3 g, 24 mmol) and CCl4 (1.9 ml, 20 mmol) and the mixture
was refluxed for 48 h. After cooling at room temperature the white precipitate was filtered off and
the organic phase concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by silica gel column

(dimethylamino)phenylboronic acid (1.00 g, 6.10 mmol), aqueous Na2CO3 (15 mL, 15.3 mmol) and
tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (176 mg, 0.153 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (60 mL)
was heated at 80°C under nitrogen for 18 h. After cooling at room temperature, organic solvent was
removed in vacuo and the aqueous phase was extracted with CH2Cl2. The collected organic phases
were dried over Na2SO4 and the solvent removed in vacuo. The crude product was purified by
column chromatography on silica gel using pure chloroform as eluent to afford the product 10 (480
mg, 79%) as pale white solid. mp 231-233 °C. δH(400 MHz, CDCl3) 8.57 (d, 2 H, J= 6.2 Hz), 7.60
