Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-chloroaniline (25.51 g) and triethylamine (69.73 ml) in chloroform (350 ml) were added 2,2-dimethyl-propionyl chloride (25.32 g) over a 30 minutes period. The resulting solution was stirred at r.t. for 1 hour, then water was added and the mixture extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to afford 35.8 g of product. M.p. 149-150° C.; Retention Time HPLC 2.83 min; MS (ES+) 212 (M+H+).
