Question

Propose a mechanism for Step 4.

A newer generation of antipsychotics, among them clozapine, are now used to treat
the symptoms of schizophrenia. These drugs are more effective than earlier drugs
in improving patient response in the areas of social withdrawal, apathy, memory,
comprehension, and judgment. They also produce fewer side effects such as seizures
and tardive dyskinesia (involuntary body movements). In the following synthesis of
clozapine, Step 1 is an Ullmann coupling, a type of nucleophilic aromatic substitu-
tion that uses a copper catalyst.
