1,3-Dibromopropane → N,N-dimethyl4 bromopropoxy-3-methoxybenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To N,N-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzamide (5.64 g, 28.7 mmol) in acetonitrile (450 ml) was added potassium carbonate (7.9 g) followed by 1,3-dibromopropane (11.6 g). The resulting reaction mixture was refluxed for 3 hours and stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. The mixture was filtered and concentrated to an oil. Following purification by column chromatography, N,N-dimethyl-4-bromopropoxy-3-methoxybenzamide as a colorless oil (7.6 g) was obtained.
