Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-bromo-N-(2,2,2-trichloro-1-hydroxyethyl)benzamide (0.67 g, 1.93 mmol) in chloroform (15 mL) was treated with PCl5 (0.42 g, 1.91 mmol). The mixture was heated to 50° C. for 30 minutes before cooling to room temperature and pouring into crushed ice. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and filtered. The solution of 4-bromo-N-(1,2,2,2-tetrachloroethyl)benzamide was cooled to room temperature before addition of 4-chloroaniline (0.52 mL, 4.0 mmol), and the mixture was allowed to stir for 18 hours. The mixture was quenched with 2 M HCl and extracted with ether. The organic solution was dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated onto silica gel. The material was purified on an MPLC with 7:3 CH2Cl2:hexanes to give 4-bromo-N-(2,2,2-trichloro-1-(4-chlorophenylamino)ethyl)benzamide (Compound 6) as a solid. The product may be further purified by an appropriate recrystallization such as in ether.
