Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Bromo-6-trifluoromethyl-benzene-1,4-diamine (2.21 g), bis-(2-bromoethyl)ether (1.30 mL) and N,N-diisopropyl-ethylamine (4.64 mL) were mixed in N,N-dimethylformamide (19 mL) and healed to 180° C. for 30 minutes in a sealed microwave process vial. Saturated aqueous bicarbonate (100 mL) was added and the crude mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (100 mL). The organic phase was washed with water (100 mL) and brine (100 mL), dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography to furnish 1.78 g (63%) of the title compound as a yellow solid. LC-MS (m/z) 326 (MH+); tR=2.54, (UV, ELSD) 83%, 75%. 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6): 2.99 (m, 4H), 3.70 (m, 4H), 5.00 (s, 2H), 7.00 (d, 1H), 7.38 (d, 1H).
