4-Bromobutyronitrile → 3-bromo-4-chloro-N-[2-(3-cyano-propoxy)-phenyl]-N-methyl-benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

CsCO3 (5.17 g, 15.87 mmol) was added to a solution of 4-bromo-butyronitrile (0.63 mL, 6.35 mmol) and 3-bromo-4-chloro-N-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-N-methyl-benzamide (1.80 g, 5.29 mmol, Step 3B) in DMF (20 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for approximately 16 hrs and was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The ethyl acetate layer was separated, washed with water and brine, and was dried over MgSO4. The organic filtrate was evaporated to yield 3-bromo-4-chloro-N-[2-(3-cyano-propoxy)-phenyl]-N-methyl-benzamide as a light yellow solid (2.0 g). MS [M+H]+: 408.9; tR=2.39 min. (method 1)
