Dimethylamine → 3-Fluoro-N,N-dimethyl-4-nitrobenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a solution of 3 (1.50 g, 7.36 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (30 mL) at 0° C. was added triethylamine (1.5 mL, 10.9 mmol) and dimethylamine 40% in water (0.83 mL, 7.36 mmol) dropwise. The solution was stirred and allowed to warm to RT overnight before concentrating under reduced pressure and adding EtOAc. The solution was washed sequentially with saturated NaHCO3, water, and brine, before drying over MgSO4 and concentrating under reduced pressure to give impure 4 (0.78 g, 50%). MS: APCI (AP+): 213.1 (M)+, (AP−): 212.1 (M)−.
