Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of methyl 3,4-dimethylbenzoate (1.334 g, 8.13 mmol), N-bromosuccinimide (3.173 g, 17.83 mmol) and benzoyl peroxide (0.143 g, 0.592 mmol) in carbon tetrachloride (5 mL) was heated at reflux for 1.5 hours. Upon cooling to room temperature, the solids present were removed by vacuum filtration and the resulting solution concentrated in vacuo. The residue obtained was re-dissolved in THF (30 mL). To the solution was added triethylamine (2.265 mL, 16.25 mmol) and a solution of 4-methoxy benzylamine (1.05 mL, 8.13 mmol) in THF (20 mL). The resulting reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The precipitate was removed via filtration and the solution obtained was concentrated in vacuo. The residue obtained was purified via flash chromatography (15-30% EtOAc/hexane) to afford a light yellow oil (1.185 g). LCMS: (FA) ES+ 298; 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) 7.89 (dd, J=7.8, 1.5 Hz, 1H), 7.84 (s, 1H), 8.74 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 2H), 7.313 (d, J=8.7 Hz 2H), 7.22 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 2H), 6.89 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 2H), 3.93 (s, 4H), 3.89 (s, 3H), 3.85 (s, 2H), 3.82 (s, 3H).
