Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2-Bromo-4,6-dimethyl-aniline (600 mg) and (4-fluoro-phenyl)-acetyl chloride (543 mg) were dissolved in acetonitrile (6 mL) and heated to 150° C. for 10 minutes in a sealed microwave process vial. The reaction was cooled to 0° C., the product filtered off and washed with cold acetonitrile (50 mL) affording 665 mg (66% yield) of the title compound as a white solid. LC-MS (m/z) 337 (MH+); tR=2.93, (UV, ELSD) 90%, 98%. 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6): 2.05 (s, 6H), 2.25 (s, 3H), 3.63 (s, 2H), 7.05 (b, 1H), 7.15 (dt, 2H), 7.32 (b, 1H), 7.40 (dt, 2H), 9.67 (s, 1H).
