Pyridine → 2-Bromo-N-[2-(4-phenoxy-phenyl)-ethyl]-acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-phenoxyphenethylamine (213.28 amu, 2.5 g, 1 eq, 10.8 mmol, 1.09 g/mL, 2.3 mL) added to a 3-necked flask. Bromoacetyl bromide (201.86 amu, 1.1 eq, 11.8 mmol, 2.4 g, 2.317 g/mL, 1.03 mL), pyridine (79.10 amu, 5 eq, 4.27 g, 0.978 g/mL, 54 mmol, 4.4 mL) added along with 50 mL CH2Cl2. Reaction stirred for 2 hours at RT. CH2Cl2 removed and mixture taken up in 200 mL EtOAc. Organic layer washed with brine and water (200 mL each). Organics seperated, dried sodium sulfate, and rotovaped to give 1.56 g material. MS [EI+] 334 (M+H)+, MS [EI−] 332 (M−H)+
