Acetone → 4-[(2-Cyanopropan-2-yl)amino]-2-fluoro-N-methylbenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-amino-2-fluoro-N-methylbenzamide (2 g, 11.9 mmol), TMSCN (2.2 mL, 17.9 mmol), TMSOTf (0.1 mL, 0.6 mmol), and acetone (10 mL, 140 mmol) in DCM (20 mL) was stirred at room temperature overnight. The white solid was filtered, washed with a small amount of DCM, and dried to afford 1.12 g of 4-((2-cyanopropan-2-yl)amino)-2-fluoro-N-methylbenzamide as a white solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 7.79 (t, 1H), 7.56 (t, 1H), 6.88 (s, 1H), 6.67 (dd, 1H), 6.54 (dd, 1H), 2.75 (d, 3H), 1.67 (s, 6H).
