Triethylamine → 3-(4-Trifluoromethylbenzamido)propan-1-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A reaction vessel was charged with 7.51 g of 3-amino-1-propanol, 2.53 g of triethylamine and 50 ml of dichloromethane, and 5.21 g of 4-trifluoromethylbenzoyl chloride was slowly added dropwise under ice cooling. After stirring at room temperature for 6 hours, the reaction mixture was successively washed with diluted hydrochloric acid and water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated, which afforded 5.25 g of 3-(4-trifluoromethylbenzamido)propan-1-ol (85% yield).
