3-(Trifluoromethyl)benzoyl chloride → N-(4-methyl-3-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-methyl-3-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)aniline (1.0 equiv.) in THF (0.1 M) at 0° C. was added 3-trifluoromethylbenzoylchloride (1.0 equiv.) and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 3 h. The solution was concentrated and dried under vacuo to give N-(4-methyl-3-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzamide as a tan solid in 96% yield. LCMS (m/z) (M+H)=406.2, Rt=1.24 min.
