Participants

Reaction Steps

Combine (2-bromo-4-fluoro-phenyl)-acetyl chloride (3.5 g, 14 mmol), ammonium hydroxide (8.8 M in water, 50 mL, 0.45 mmol) and THF (10 mL) in a pressure vessel. Seal the vessel and stir the mixture overnight at RT. Dilute the mixture with chloroform-IPA (3:1, 100 mL). Wash the organic phase with aqueous saturated sodium chloride and water. Dry the mixture over sodium sulfate. Concentrate the solution in vacuo to give the title compound as a white solid (3.0 g, 93%). MS (ES) m/z 232/234 [M+1]+.
