Acetyl chloride → HCID 66604246, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To (6-methoxy-2′-methylaminomethyl-4′-trifluoromethyl-biphenyl-3-yl)-acetic acid methyl ester (0.114 g, 0.31 mmol) and triethylamine (0.05 mL, 0.34 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (1.2 mL) was added acetyl chloride (0.02 mL, 0.34 mmol), and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Once no starting material was seen by analytical LCMS, the mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2 and H2O, and the aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated, and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (0-100% EtOAc in hexanes) to give the title compound.
