2-Bromopropanoyl chloride → 2-Bromo-N-(3-bromo-2-hydroxyphenyl)propionamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Bromopropionyl chloride (1.47 ml, 14.6 mmol) was added dropwise to a vigorously stirred and ice-cooling mixture of 2-amino-6-bromophenol (2.74 g, 14.6 mmol) and sodium bicarbonate (3.06 g, 36.4 mmol) in ethyl acetate (50 ml)/water (15 ml). The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 3 h and diluted with water. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The residue used for the following step without further purification to afford 4.71 g (99%) of the title compound.
