Bromine → N-(2-Bromophenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide

Temperature

25 °C

To a stirred mixture of the N-trifluoroacetylaniline (2.00 mmol) and sodium hydrogen carbonate (0.21 g, 2.50 mmol, 1.25 eq) in methanol (10 mL) at 0° C. is added dropwise bromine (0.113 mL, 2.19 mmol, 1.1 eq). The resulting reaction mixture is then stirred at 25° C. for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture is then evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue is placed in water made acidic to pH 3 with HCI (10 mL). This aqueous mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate (3×15 mL). The extracts is combined, dried (MgSO4), and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue is column chromatographed using silica gel (approximately 50 g) and elution with an appropriate solvent system t afford the corresponding 2-bromo-N-trifluoroacetylaniline.
