4-Chloroaniline → HCID 178446836, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-methylbutanenitrile (250 mg, 3.0 mmol) and AlCl3 (400 mg, 3.0 mmol) in toluene (6 mL) was added 4-chloroaniline (383 mg, 3.0 mmol). The resulting solution was stirred at reflux for 2 h, diluted with water, and extracted with EtOAc. The aqueous layer was neutralized with saturated NaHCO3 solution and extracted with EtOAc. The combined extracts were dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated. The crude product (364 mg, 58% yield) was used for the next step without purification.
