Dimethylamine → 2-Fluoro-5-iodo-N,N-dimethylbenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Add a 2.0 M solution of dimethylamine in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL, 10.1 mmol) to a solution of 2-fluoro-5-iodobenzoylchloride (1.3 g, 4.6 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 mL) and stir at room temperature for 0.5 h. Sequentially wash the reaction mixture with a 1 N hydrochloric acid (50 mL), a 1 N sodium hydroxide (50 mL), and an aqueous saturated solution of sodium chloride (50 mL). Dry (sodium sulfate), filter, and concentrate to give the title compound as a white solid (1.3 g, 98%).
