N,N-Dimethylaniline → HCID 15421643, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Bromopropanoyl chloride (3.13 mL, 31.0 mmol) and N,N-dimethylaniline (3.91 mL, 31.0 mmol) were dissolved in methylene chloride (30 ml), 4-trifluoromethylaniline (5 g, 31.0 mmol) was added dropwise at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hrs. Work-up of the reaction mixture according to a conventional method gave a crude product. The obtained crude product was dissolved in a mixed solvent (100 mL) of methylene chloride/acetonitrile (20/1), potassium hydroxide (2.28 g, 40.6 mmol) and tetrabutylammonium bromide (3.26 g, 6.76 mmol) were added, and the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The solvent was evaporated and, after work-up according to a conventional method, the mixture was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give the title compound (4.6 g, 21.4 mmol, 71%).
