Bromine → 4-Bromo-2-methyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere a solution of 11.0 mL (214 mmol) bromine in 100 mL chloroform was added dropwise to a solution of 35.8 g (204 mmol) 2-methyl-6-trifluoromethyl-phenylamine in 350 mL chloroform and after the end of the addition the reaction mixture was stirred for 3 h at RT. Saturated NaHCO3 solution was added with stirring, the mixture was stirred for a further 20 min at RT, the organic phase was separated off and dried over Na2SO4. After the desiccant and solvent had been eliminated the product was obtained as an oil, which was further reacted without purification.
