Dimethylamine, hydrochloride → 4-Amino-3-chloro-N,N-dimethylbenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

DIPEA (116 mL, 699.5 mmol) was added into a suspension of dimethylamine hydrochloride (28.51 g, 349.6 mmol) in THF (600 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 0.5 h. Then 4-amino-3-chlorobenzoic acid (30.00 g, 174.8 mmol) and HATU (86.41 g, 227.2 mmol) were added into the above suspension separately. The reaction mixture was continued to be stirred for 1.5 h. Then it was concentrated and the residue was partitioned between EtOAc (300 mL) and water (150 mL). The separated organic phase was washed with water, dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated in vacuum. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography, eluted with Hexanes:EtOAc=1:1 to afford 4-amino-3-chloro-N,N-dimethylbenzamide (34.72 g, yield: 89%). ESI-MS: 199.06. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ7.39 (s, 1H, ArH), 7.19 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H, ArH), 6.74 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H, ArH), 4.24 (br, 2H, NH2), 3.05 (s, 6H, 2CH3).
