Planar chirality keeps very important role in modern chemistry, in clued material to stereoselectivity organic chemistry. After first report ed in [2,2]paracyclophane chemistry study, this research field keeps interested till now. Recently, our research group and others' reported this series compounds shows great efficient in asymmetric catalysis. In order to de the further study in this field, large scale synthesis of pure chiral 4-amino-12-bromo[2,2]paracyclophane and 4,12-diamino[2,2]paracyclophane is necessary. Although there is few successful report in this filed by using Hartwig-Buchwald pathway, we make very important improvement by using co-catalyst B in the reaction. By adjusting the base loading, we could easily control for making mono- or dimmer-substuituent compounds.
