Methylamine → 4-bromo-N,2-dimethylbenzamide

N,N-Dimethylformamide (10 uL) was added to a mixture of 4-bromo-2-methylbenzoic acid (1.0 g, 0.0046 mol) in oxalyl chloride (2.0 mL, 0.023 mol). The mixture was stirred at r.t. overnight. The volatiles were removed under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in methylene chloride (2 mL). To the solution was added to a mixture of methylamine (0.41 mL, 0.0093 mol) and triethylamine (1.3 mL, 0.0093 mol) in DCM (10 ml). After 30 min, the reaction mixture was quenched with aqueous sodium carbonate (10 mL) and extracted with DCM (3×20 mL). The organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered. The solvents were removed under reduced pressure to give a crude product (980 mg, 92.4%). LCMS (M+H)+: m/z=228.1/230.2.
