Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-bromo-5-chloroaniline (0.380 g, 1.84 mmol) and triethylamine (0.768 mL, 5.52 mmol) in dichloromethane (15 mL) is added 3-chlorobenzoyl chloride (0.353 mL, 2.76 mmol) in a dropwise fashion. The resulting mixture is allowed to stir at room temperature for 2 h. Water (30 mL) is added and extracted with the mixture is extracted with dichloromethane 3×. The organic layer is combined, washed with brine 1×, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated under vacuum to give 0.630 g of N-(2-bromo-5-chloro-phenyl)-3-chloro-benzamide in 99% yield.
