4-Bromobenzoyl chloride → 4-bromo-N-(2,2-dimethoxyethyl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 24 mmol aminoacetaldehyde dimethylacetal was dissolved in 30 ml of water and treated with 25 mmol of potassium hydrogencarbonate. A solution of 23 mmol of 4-bromobenzoyl chloride in 50 ml of acetone was slowly added under stirring over a period of 30 min. The acetone was evaporated and the aqueous phase was extracted 3 times with ethyl acetate to yield the crude title compound as a slightly brown solid.
