4-(Bromomethyl)-1-chloro-2-methoxybenzene → HCID 22467651, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-chloro-3-methoxybenzyl bromide (7.00 g) in anhydrous dimethylformamide (50 mL) was added potassium phthalimide (6.03 g), and the mixture was stirred for 2 hours at ambient temperature. The mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The separated organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was triturated with diisopropyl ether to give N-(4-chloro-3-methoxybenzyl)phthalimide as white powders (5.88 g).
