4-bromo-1-methoxy-2-methylsulfonylbenzene

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To a suspension of sodium 5-bromo-2-methoxybenzenesulfinate (1.99 g) in DMF (873 ml) was added iodomethane (32 ml). The reaction mixture turned yellow and was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction was quenched by the addition of water (ca. 5 ml). The mixture was diluted with EtOAc and extracted with 5% LiCl (3×) and brine (1×). The organic layer was dried (Na2SO4/MgSO4) and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography to give 1.62 g 4-bromo-1-methoxy-2-(methylsulfonyl)benzene as a white crystalline solid. The reaction was quenched by the addition of water (ca. 5 ml) The mixture was diluted with EtOAc extracted with 5% LiCl (3×) and brine (1×) The organic layer was dried (Na2SO4/MgSO4) filtered The filtrate was concentrated purified by silica gel column chromatography

Procedure: A mixture of 4-bromo-2-methanesulfonyl-1-methoxy-benzene (0.65 g,), piperazine (0.43 g,), sodium tert-butoxide (0.13 g) BINAP (19 mg) and [Pd2(dba)3 (27 mg) in dioxane (5 ml) was heated under argon at 100° C. for 24 h. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was taken up in Et2O (40-50 ml) and washed with brine (15-20 ml). The organic fraction was dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated to dryness. The crude material was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel using CH2Cl2:MeOH (9:1 (v/v)) Yield 0.14 g: MS m/z (rel. intensity, 70 eV)) 270 (M+, 23), 229 (11), 228 (bp), 148 (7), 56 (17). washed with brine (15-20 ml) The organic fraction was dried (MgSO4) filtered evaporated to dryness The crude material was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel
