Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-bromobenzoyl chloride (10.0 g) in dry dichloromethane (60 mL) at 0° C. was slowly added diisopropylamine (19 mL; 3.0 eq). The reaction was stirred overnight under nitrogen and gradually warmed to room temperature. The solution was washed with two portions of water and the organics were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography eluting with 15% ethyl acetate. Near quantitative yield of product was obtained.
