Dimethylamine → 2-chloro-4,5-difluoro-N,N-dimethylbenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-chloro-4,5-difluorobenzoic acid (385 mg, 2.0 mmol) in DCM (5 mL) was treated with (1-chloro-2-methylprop-1-en-1-yl)dimethylamine (293 mg, 2.2 mmol) and stirred under argon for 1 hour. The mixture was then treated with triethylamine (0.56 mL, 4.0 mmol) and a 2M solution of dimethylamine in THF (1.2 mL, 2.4 mmol), and stirred for 18 hours. The mixture was diluted with DCM (5 mL) and 2M hydrochloric acid (4 mL) and separated. The organic layer was dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound (425 mg). The residue was used without further purification.
