Triethylamine → N-(3-Bromo-4-Methylphenyl)-3-(Trifluoromethyl)Benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-bromo-4-methylbenzenamine (0.82 g, 4.4 mmol) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 (40 mL) was added 3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl chloride (0.72 ml, 4.85 mmol) and triethylamine (2.5 ml, 17.6 mmol). The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The saturated NaHCO3 (80 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred for 5 min. The organic layer was separated and aqueous was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×20 mL). The combined organic solution was dried (Na2SO4). The solvent was removed in vacuo. The title compound was afforded as a yellow solid (1.48 g, 94%).
