Participants

Reaction Steps

Add acetyl chloride (0.18 mL, 2.49 mmol) to a mixture of 5-bromo-2-fluorobenzylamine hydrochloride (500 mg, 2.08 mmol) in dichloromethane (8 mL) and diisopropylethylamine (0.90 mL, 5.20 mmol) and stir 3 h. Dilute with diethyl ether and separate the layers. Wash the organic layer twice with 1 N hydrochloric acid and once with an aqueous saturated solution of sodium chloride. Dry (sodium sulfate), filter, and concentrate to give the title compound as a white crystalline solid (490 mg, 96%).
