Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-(2,2,-Dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-ylmethyl)-N-(2-phenoxy phenyl)amine (0.20 g, 0.58 mmol) dissolved in DCM (2 mL) was added triethylamine (0.24 g, 2.32 mmol, 0.32 mL). The reaction was cooled to 0° C. and bromoacetyl chloride (0.18 g, 1.16 mmol, 0.10 mL) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. LC-MS indicated starting material and product (1:1). Further triethylamine (0.24 g, 2.32 mmol, 0.32 mL) and bromoacetyl chloride (0.18 g, 1.16 mmol, 0.10 mL) were added and stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The solvents were removed in vacuo, the residue quenched with water (10 mL), extracted with DCM (2×20 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered and solvents removed in vacuo. The crude material was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with petroleum spirit (A) and EtOAc (B) (30% B, 80 g, 2.5 CV, 60 mL/min). The impure product was further purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with DCM (A) and EtOAc (B) (1-5% B, 80 g, 5 CV, 60 mL/min) to afford 170 mg (63%) of 2-Bromo-N-(2,2,-Dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-ylmethyl)-N-(2-phenoxy phenyl)acetamide as a colourless oil.
