Diisopropylethylamine → 5-Fluoro-N-methyl-2-nitrobenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-fluoro-2-nitrobenzoic acid (0.550 g, 2.97 mmol), methylamine hydrochloride (0.241 g, 3.56 mmol), TBTU (0.954 g, 2.97 mmol), and DIPEA (1.15 g, 8.91 mmol) in DCM (10.0 mL) was stirred at rt for 30 minutes. The reaction was quenched with saturated NaHCO3 (10 mL) and extracted with DCM (15 mL). The organic layer was washed with brine (10 mL), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield a yellow semi-solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ=3.06 (d, J=5.05 Hz, 3H), 7.20-7.26 (m, 1H), 8.16 (dd, J=8.84, 4.55 Hz, 1H). MS (ES+): m/z 199.05 [MH+] (TOF, polar).
