Bromoacetyl bromide → HCID 66654190, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To an ice-cooled solution under N2 of (±)-[4-fluoro-2-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-isoquinolin-1-yl)-phenoxy]-acetic acid ethyl ester hydrochloride (2.0 g, 5.2 mmol, 1.0 eq.) in DCM (13 mL), N-ethyldiisopropylamine (2.7 mL, 15.6 mmol, 3.0 eq.) was added. A solution of bromoacetyl bromide (0.5 mL, 5.7 mmol, 1.1 eq.) in DCM (5 mL) was added dropwise. The cooling bath was removed and the brown solution stirred at r.t. for 2 hours. The solution was diluted with AcOEt (170 mL), washed with sat. aq. NaHCO3 soln. (1×90 mL), with sat. aq. NaCl soln. (1×90 mL), dried over MgSO4, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash master (column: 100 g, flow: 35 mL/min, heptane to heptane+AcOEt) to yield the title compound as a brown oil.
