Reaction Steps

A 250-mL round-bottomed flask was charged with 2-phenylpropan-1-amine hydrochloride (7.75 g, 45.1 mmol), DCM (75 mL) and cooled down to 0° C. Triethylamine (13.8 mL, 99.3 mmol) was added followed by slow addition of 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl chloride (7.4 mL, 49.7 mmol). After the addition was completed the mixture was stirred at RT for 1 h, diluted with EtOAc, washed with 10% HCl, sat NaHCO3, sat NaCl and dried over Na2SO4. The white residue was recrystallized from ether:hexanes and the title compound was obtained as a white solid. MS (ESI, positive ion) m/z: 308 (M+H).
