Morpholine → 4-(3-Bromobenzoyl)morpholine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-bromobenzoic acid (500 mg, 2.49 mmol) in DCM (12 mL) was added morpholine (260 mg, 2.99 mmol), EDCI (1.43 g, 7.47 mmol) and HOBt (1.0 g, 7.47 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The reaction solution was diluted with water and extracted with DCM. The organic layer was concentrated to give the desired (3-bromophenyl)(morpholino) methanone as a crude product which was used in next step without further purification. LCMS (m/z): 270.1/271.1 [M+H]+/[M+2H]+
