Potassium Carbonate → Benzaldehyde, (dimethylamino)-

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 2-fluorobenzaldehyde (250 μL, 2.37 mmol) and potassium carbonate (328 mg, 2.37 mmol) in 5 mL of dry N,N-dimethylformamide was added dimethylamine/ethanol solution (0.65 mL, 5.6 M, 3.6 mmol) at room temperature. After being stirred at 110° C. for 12 h, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate. The solution was washed with water, saturated NaHCO3 aqueous solution, brine, and dried over MgSO4. After filtration, the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=90/10 to 80/20) to obtain the title compound as a yellow oil (299 mg, 85%).
