Procedure:
A solution of 3.60 g (34.0 mmol) of Na2CO3 in a mixture of 150 ml of water and 45 ml of methanol was purged with argon for 30 min. The obtained solution was added to a mixture of 5.00 g (14.0 mmol) of N-(2-methylphenyl)-8-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-amine, 4.85 g (14.0 mmol) of N-[(6-bromopyridin-2-yl)methyl]-2,6-diisopropylaniline, 0.80 g (0.70 mmol) of Pd(PPh3)4, and 180 ml of toluene in argon atmosphere. This mixture was stirred for 12 h at 70° C. and then cooled to room temperature. The organic layer was separated, the aqueous layer was extracted with 3×50 ml of ethyl acetate. The combined organic extract was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel 60 (40-63 um, eluent: hexane-ethyl acetate-triethylamine=100:10:1, vol.). Yield 2.50 g (36%) of a yellow oil. Anal.
