Reaction Steps

4-Bromo-3-methylbenzaldehyde (D80, 3.7 g, 18.6 mmol) was treated with methylamine in ethanol (33%, 100 ml) followed by 4 Å molecular sieves and solid potassium carbonate (approx 4 g) and the mixture stirred for 72 hours. Solvent was removed in vacuo, the residue suspended in chloroform, and the solid removed by filtration. The filtrate was evaporated in vacuo to yield the title compound as a red liquid (3.15 g, 80%).
