Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chloro-N1N-dimethylethanamine (0.355 g, 2.66 mmol), 3-nitro-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenol (0.500 g, 2.41 mmol) and Cs2CO3 (2.36 g, 7.24 mmol) in DMF (19 mL) was stirred at rt until reaction complete by TLC (1:1 EtOAc:Hexane). The mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed with water. The organic solution was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to give the desired product as a brown oil (0.490 g, 63%). LCMS: (FA) ES+ 304.3 (M+1).
