Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2-Fluoro-5-trifluoromethyl-benzaldehyde (1.3 g) and cyclopropylmethyl-propyl-amine (1.15 g) are dissolved in toluene (13 ml), and thereto is added potassium carbonate (2.81 g) and the mixture is stirred at 120° C. overnight. The reaction solution is cooled to room temperature, and thereto are added ethyl acetate and water, and the mixture is separated, and the organic layer is washed with a saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=1:0→97:3) to give 2-(cyclopropylmethyl-propyl-amino)-5-trifluoromethyl-benzaldehyde (1.7 g). MS (m/z): 286 [M+H]+
