Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 4-bromo-2-(bromomethyl)benzoate (0.13 g, 0.42 mmol), cyclopropylamine (0.034 mL, 0.49 mmol) and potassium carbonate (0.090 g, 0.65 mmol) in ethanol (0.9 mL) was stirred at 40° C. for 3 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with saturated sodium bicarbonate and extracted with EtOAc (3×20 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel with 30% EtOAc in hexanes to afford the desired product (0.10 g, 94%). LCMS: (M+H)=252.0/254.0.
