Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-bromo-4-methylbenzoic acid (1.0 equiv.) in DMF (1.2M) was added EDC (1.0 equiv.) and HOBt (1.0 equiv.) followed by 3-trifluoromethylaniline (1.0 equiv.) and the reaction was stirred at ambient temperature for 48 h. The reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The separated organic layer was dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuo. The concentrated crude was purified via silica gel chromatography and eluted with 0 to 100% ethyl acetate in heptanes to give 3-bromo-4-methyl-N-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)benzamide in 83% yield. LCMS (m/z) (M+H)=358/360, Rt=1.1 min.
