4-Chloroaniline → 3-(4-Bromo-2-fluoro-phenyl)-N-(4-chloro-phenyl)-acrylamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-(4-bromo-2-fluoro-phenyl)-acrylic acid (12.7 g, 52 mmol), 4-chloroaniline (9.9 g, 78 mmol), HOBt (10.5 g, 78 mmol) and EDCI (15.0 g, 78 mmol) in 200 mL of dichloromethane was refluxed overnight, and the resulting mixture was washed with 1M NaOH solution, water and brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated. Recrystallization of the residue from EtOAc/Hexane gave 15 g (82%) of white solid. MS: calc'd 354 (MH+), exp 354 (MH+). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz), 7.75 (d, 1H, J=15.6 Hz), 7.60 (d, 2H, J=8.8 Hz), 7.48 (s, 1H), 7.32-7.38 (m, 5H, J=7.6 Hz), 6.70 (d, 1H, J=15.6 Hz).
