Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-bromobenzoyl chloride (2.00 g, 9.11 mmol) and dimethyl amine hydrochloride (892 mg, 10.90 mmol) in 20 mL of CH2Cl2 was added triethylamine (3.81 mL, 27.30 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h, quenched with water, extracted with 3×CHCl3, dried with Na2SO4, concentrated and purified by Biotage column chromatography with 1-4% MeOH in 1:1 EtOAc/CH2Cl2 to give a white solid (1.73 g, 83% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.48-7.65 (m, 2 H) 7.20-7.37 (m, 2 H) 3.05 (d, J=50.78 Hz, 6 H); LCMS for C9H10BrNO m/z 228.00 and 230.00 (M+H)+
