Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4-Chloroaniline (2.0 g) was dissolved in acetonitrile (20 mL), and bromoethyl acetate (2.1 g) and potassium carbonate (2.2 g) were added thereto, followed by stirring at 60° C. for 2 days. The reaction mixture was filtered through a Celite pad, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:chloroform=2:1), to thereby give the title compound (2.3 g).
