Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(4-amino-phenyl)-ethanol (5.10 g, 37.2 mmol) in 37 mL of DMF was added NBS (6.60 g, 37.1 mmol) and the mixture stirred overnight at RT. The reaction was diluted with 100 mL of water and extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL). The organic layer was washed with brine (200 mL) and dried over Na2SO4. The title compound was purified by silica gel flash chromatography eluting with 50% EtOAc/hexanes to give 5.10 g (64%) of a white solid. Mass spectrum (ESI, m/z): Calcd. for C8H10BrNO, 216.0 (M+H), found 216.1.
