2,3,4-Trifluorobenzoyl chloride → N-(2-{[(1,1-Dimethylethyl)(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}ethyl)-2,3,4-trifluoro-N-methylbenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

2,3,4-Trifluorobenzoyl chloride (2.32 mL, 18.16 mmol) was added slowly to a stirred mixture of (2-{[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}ethyl)methylamine (3.44 g, 18.16 mmol) in DCM (200 mL) and 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (200 mL) at 0° C. The reaction was allowed to warm to RT and stirred for a further 24 hours. The phases were separated and the aqueous phase further extracted with DCM (3×100 mL), the combined organics dried (MgSO4), filtered and the solvent removed in vacuo to give a pale yellow oil. The residue was chromatographed on silica, eluting with 0-50% ethyl acetate in isohexane, to give the desired compound as a colourless oil (5.22 g).
