Step A: (4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)diethylphosphine oxide

The mixture of 4-bromo-2-fluoro-1-iodobenzene (2.00 g, 6.60 mmol), diethylphosphine oxide (775 mg, 7.30 mmol), Pd 2(dba) 3 (302 mg, 0.330 mmol) and XantPhos (382 mg, 0.660 mmol) in 40 mL of 1,4-dioxane was sparged with argon. Then triethylamine (1.30 g, 13.2 mmol) was added. The mixture was heated at 60° C. for 12 h under an atmosphere of argon. LCMS showed the reaction was completed. The mixture was concentrated, and the residue was diluted with ethyl acetate (100 mL) and washed with water (50 mL). The organic layer was dried and concentrated. The residue was purified with silica gel column chromatography (PE/EA/methanol=1:2:0.1) to provide (4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)diethylphosphine oxide (1.50 g, 5.37 mmol, 80.6% yield) as a pale white solid.

The mixture was heated at 80° C. for 3 h in a microwave reactor. LCMS showed most of the starting material was consumed. The mixture was concentrated, diluted with ethyl acetate (50 mL), and washed with water (30 mL). The organic layer was dried and concentrated. The resulting residue was purified with silica gel column chromatography (PE/EA/methanol=1:2:0.1) to provide (4-bromo-2-(methylamino)phenyl)diethylphosphine oxide (179 mg, 0.617 mmol, 47.9% yield) as a white solid.
