Reaction Steps

A red suspension of 2,2-dimethylpropionamide hydrochloride (Atlantic, 1.00 g, 7.32 mmol), 2-bromo-4′-methylacetophenone (Aldrich, 1.56 g, 7.32 mmol) and K2CO3 (1.52 g, 11.0 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) was stirred at 75° C. for 3 h. The mixture was cooled to RT, concentrated in vacuo, suspended in water (25 mL) and extracted with DCM (2×25 mL). The combined organics were passed through a hydrophobic frit, concentrated in vacuo, redissolved in MeOH (5 mL), applied to an SCX-2 cartridge (20 g) and washed with MeOH (100 mL). The product was eluted with 2M NH3 in MeOH (60 mL); concentration in vacuo left a yellow foam (1.26 g). FCC, using 1-5% MeOH in DCM, gave the title compound as a pale yellow solid (770 mg, 49%). LCMS (Method 3): Rt 2.26 min, m/z 215 [MH+].
