Potassium Carbonate → HCID 86610930, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Powdered potassium carbonate (1.10 g, 7.97 mmol) is added to a stirred solution of N-(2-benzyl-4-chloro-phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-acetamide (1.25 g, 3.98 mmol) and methyl bromoacetate (1.34 g, 8.76 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (5 mL). The resultant mixture is stirred at ambient temperature under nitrogen for 2 hours. After dilution with EtOAc (60 mL), the mixture is washed with water (25 mL×3), dried over MgSO4, filtered, concentrated and chromatographed on-silica (gradient 0-15% EtOAc in hexane) to give 1.37 g (3.55 mmol, 89% yield) of the title compound as oil. ESIMS: m/z 386 [(M+H)+, 35Cl], 388 [(M+H)+, 37Cl].
