2-Fluoroaniline → N-(2-fluorophenyl)acrylamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of acryloyl chloride (0.70 mL, 8.63 mmol) and sodium phosphate dibasic (2.45 g, 17.26 mmol) in anhydrous methylene chloride (18.0 mL) at 0° C. was added dropwise 2-fluoroaniline (0.834 mL, 8.63 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h. It was then filtered over a celite pad, washed with methylene chloride (50 mL) and concentrated to afford N-(2-fluorophenyl)acrylamide (C-4) as a white solid (0.959 g, 68% yield). MS (M+1): m/e 166. This material was used for the next step with no additional purification.
