Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-(dimethylamino)benzoic acid (5.13 g, 31.0 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) was cooled to 5° C. To this cold solution was added NBS (6.23 g, 35.0 mmol) in several portions in order to keep the internal reaction temperature at 5° C. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at this temperature for 15 min and then to warm to rt. The mixture was poured into water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic solutions were combined, washed with water and brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to give 2-bromo-5-(dimethylamino)benzoic acid (7.89 g, 93%) which was used without purification in the next step.
