Triethylamine → Acetamide, N-[(2-bromophenyl)methyl]-2,2,2-trifluoro-

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-bromobenzylamine (1.3 mL, 10.8 mmol) in methanol (5 mL) was added ethyl trifluoroacetate (1.54 mL, 21.6 mmol) and triethylamine (1.4 mL, 10.8 mmol) under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The reaction mixture was then concentrated under vacuum to yield N-(2-bromo-benzyl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-acetamide (3.15 g, quant.). HPLC ret. time 2.86 min, 10-99% CH3CN, 5 min run; ESI-MS 283.9 m/z (MH+).
