Methylamine → 2-bromo-N-methyl-3-nitrobenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-bromo-3-nitrobenzoic acid (0.974 g, 3.96 mmol) in DMF (3 mL) was added methylamine, 2.0 m solution in tetrahydrofuran (2.97 mL, 5.94 mmol), 1,1′-dimethyltriethylamine (1.38 mL, 7.92 mmol) and (1H-benzo[d]-[1,2,3]triazol-1-yloxy)tripyrrolidin-1-ylphosphonium hexafluorophosphate(V) (2.47 g, 4.75 mmol) and the resulting mixture was stirred at rt for 2 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc, washed with water and brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel column using DCM/EtOAc-DCM (1:1) as eluent to give 2-bromo-N-methyl-3-nitrobenzamide: LC-MS (ESI) m/z 261.0 [M+H]+.
