Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(bromomethyl)-3-fluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (257 mg, 1 mmol) in MeOH (5 mL) was added methanamine in MeOH (5 mL). The reaction was stirred at 50° C. for 16 h and then concentrated in high vacuum. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (DCM/MeOH=20/1 to 10/1) to give the title compound (200 mg, yield: 90%); m/z (ES+): 222 [M+H]+.
