Triethylamine → 2-Butenamide, N-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-methyl-

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 10.0 g (0.1 mol) of 3-methyl-2-butenoic acid in 200 ml of THF is mixed with 9.4 ml (0.1 mol) of ethyl chloroformate and 14.1 ml (0.1 mol) of triethylamine at 0° C. After 10 minutes at room temperature, 10.6 ml (0.11 mol) of 4-fluoroaniline is added to it. The batch is stirred for 1 hour at room temperature, diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (1 l). The organic phase is washed with saturated NaCl, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated by evaporation in a vacuum. The residue is purified by column chromatography on silica gel with hexane-ethyl acetate. Yield 18.8 g.
