Benzyl Bromide → HCID 67464095, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-amino-2-chlorobenzonitrile (1.0 g, 6.56 mmol, 1 eq) and benzyl bromide (3.12 mL, 26.2 mmol, 4.0 eq) in dry DMF (10 mL) was added at rt NaH (1.31 g, 32.8 mmol, 5 eq) portionwise under Ar(g). The reaction mixture was stirred at rt overnight, and was subsequently partitioned with H2O (30 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (5×20 mL) and CH2Cl2 (20 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried over MgSO4 and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was further purified by silica gel column chromatography with hexane/EtOAc (1:0-9:1) to yield the product, 2, as a white solid (1.72 g, 79%);
