Examples 197 to 205 (General Method 7)

(212) The appropriate aryl halide and the appropriate aniline were dissolved in 1,4 dioxane, and K.sub.3PO.sub.4 (3 equiv.) was added. The solution was degassed, then a transition metal catalyst (0.05 equiv.) and a phosphine ligand (0.10 equiv.) were added. The reaction mixture was heated at 80° C. for 3 h or until the reaction was complete. The solution was filtered. The material was isolated using silica gel chromatography or reverse phase HPLC, then deprotected in accordance with General Method 2. As necessary, the material was further purified by preparative reverse phase HPLC. The resulting solid was dissolved in DCM, and 4M HCl in 1,4-dioxane (6 equiv.) was added. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the title compound (HCl salt) was isolated after trituration with diethyl ether or DCM/pentane.

(213) The transition metal catalyst employed for Examples 197 and 200 was Pd.sub.2(dba).sub.3. The transition metal catalyst employed for Examples 198, 199 and 201-205 was BrettPhos Pd G3.

(214) The phosphine ligand employed for Examples 197 and 200 was XantPhos. The phosphine ligand employed for Examples 198, 199 and 201-205 was BrettPhos.
