Buchwald–Hartwig amination: 2-Bromo-4-iodoanisole → 3-Bromo-4-methoxy-N-[(oxan-4-yl)methyl]aniline

0% yield, run at 80 °C, as recorded by experimental reaction archive. The written procedure is below. One of 2 recorded runs making this product; all of them are compared below.

The equation does not balance as written. That is usual for an experimental record: the source listed what it put in and what it measured, not a stoichiometric equation.

Conditions

Temperature
80 °C

Only the dimensions the source stated are listed. Anything absent here was not recorded, and it is not inferred from what the class usually needs.

Yield

  • 0% of 3-Bromo-4-methoxy-N-[(oxan-4-yl)methyl]aniline.

Every recorded run making this product

2 runs of this class made the same product and differed in what else was in the flask. They are listed from the highest yield down, with this page's run marked.

Every value is as the source recorded it. A run with no yield was reported without one, and nothing here is averaged, modelled or filled in.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

Palladium (II) acetate (0.075 g, 0.34 mmol) and racemic-2,2'-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl (0.223 g, 0.36 mmol) were suspended in dioxane (5mL). The mixture was evacuated and purged with nitrogen, and warmed to 50°C. In a separate vessel, 2-bromo-4-iodo-1-methoxybenzene (1.4 g, 4.47 mmol), (tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)methanamine (0.547 mL, 4.47 mmol) and sodium-t- butoxide (0.645 g, 6.71 mmol) were suspended in dioxane (5ML). The resulting mixture was evacuated, purged with nitrogen and warmed to 50°C. After ~30 mins, the catalyst mixture was transferred to the reaction vessel. The reaction was evacuated and purged with nitrogen and heated at 80°C overnight. Very little product and mainly SM so reaction abandoned.

How to read this record

This is one experiment, not a rule. It says that on one occasion these species were combined under these conditions and this came out. It does not say the reaction will give the same result on your substrate, and nothing on the page has been generalised into a claim that it would.

The pathway is a separate question, kept on separate pages. A mechanism here is the canonical arrow pushing for a class, run on real structures and labelled rule-derived. It is not evidence, and this record is not a mechanism.
