Acetonitrile → 1-(4-Bromophenyl)-3,3-dimethoxycyclobutanamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(4-bromophenyl)-3,3-dimethoxycyclobutanecarboxamide (2.3 g, 7.32 mmol) in acetonitrile (9 ml) and Water (9.00 ml) was added phenyliodine bis(trifluoroacetate) (4.73 g, 11.00 mmol) and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 h. The reaction mixture was slowly poured into sodium bicarnate sat. solution (˜45 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×30 ml). The combined organic phase was washed with water, brine and concentrated to give crude product (3.4 g). The crude product was purified by column (biotage, 50 g) eluted with 0-5% DCM/Methanol (mixture of 500 ml methanol and 60 ml 2M NH4OH in methanol) to give product 1-(4-bromophenyl)-3,3-dimethoxycyclobutanamine (1.06 g), 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): 7.48 (d, 2H), 7.32 (d, 2H), 3.27 (d, 3H), 3.17 (d, 3H), 2.66 (d, 2H), 2.44 (d, 2H).
