Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2,6-dimethylaniline (2 g, 16.5 mmol), diethyl ether, and aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate (50:50 v/v) was added dropwise 3-bromopropionoyl chloride (2 g, 19.8 mm) in ether (5 mL). The mixture was allowed to stir at 0° C. for 2 hours, and at room temperature for an additional 1 hour. The organic layer was washed with 10% citric acid, dried over MgSO4, then filtered. The solvent was evaporated to afford N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-3-bromopropanamide, a compound of formula (1), as a white solid.
