Procedure

To a solution of the 2-chloro-4,6-dimethyl aniline (16.9 g g, 108 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (80 mL) was added n-butyl lithium solution (2.5 M in hexanes, 48 mL), dropwise, at 0° C. under argon. The reaction mixture was warmed up to rt and stirred for 20 min. 1,3-Dibromopropane (109 g, 543 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred overnight. The mixture was filtered through celite and concentrated. Purification was carried out by reverse phase chromatography using water, methanol and trifluoroacetic acid to obtain product (20.01 g, 72.5 mmol, 67%) as brown oil. LC/MS: tR=1.5 min. [M+H] 277. 1H NMR (CD3OD) δ: 7.12 (s, 1H), 6.99 (s, 1H), 3.52 (t, J=6.65 Hz, 2H), 3.36 (t, J=6.75 Hz, 2H), 2.36 (s, 3H), 2.29 (s, 3H), 2.14 (m, 2H).
