“…The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (CH 2Cl2-hexanes in a 1:3 ratio) followed by recrystallization from a hexanes-toluene (9:1) mixture, which gave 1a (0.44 g, 85% yield; other runs 79-85% yield) as a yellow solid: mp 119.5-120.5 °C (lit. 3 119-120 °C); 1 H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 6.44 (dd, J1 ) 7.0 Hz, J2 ) 2.0 Hz, 1H), 6.59 (br s, 1H), 6.74 (dd, J1 ) 7.0 Hz, J2 ) 2.0 Hz, 1H), 6.89-6.99 (m, 2H), 7.39-7.47 (m, 3H), 7.63-7.68 (m, 2H); 13 60 (6, 0.136 g, 0.5 mmol), prepared from amine 5b, in toluene (5 mL) at -15 °C. When PCl5 completely dissolved, 30% aqueous ammonia (1 mL) was added in one portion and stirring continued for 15 min.…”
