Hydrochloric Acid → 2-Methyl-5-phenyl-furan-3-carboxylic acid (3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Methyl-5-phenyl-furan-3-carbonyl chloride (0.025 g) was added to a solution of 3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-phenylamine (0.024 g) and N,N-diisopropylethyl-amine (0.018 mL) in dichloromethane (5 mL). After stirring at room temperature for 1 day, the reaction underwent an aqueous acidic (dilute HCl, 2×5 mL) and basic (dilute NaHCO3, 2×5 mL) workup followed by washing with brine (saturated NaCl, 2×5 mL), drying over MgSO4, and concentration. The crude compound was purified by passing through a silica gel plug eluting with hexanes/ethyl acetate (2:1) to afford the title compound (0.035 g, 82% yield). ES-MS negative Q1 (m/z) 412.
