Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.0 g (4.65 mmol) alpha-bromophenylacetic acid (Aldrich), 1.16 g (6.05 mmol) (3-dimethylamino-propyl)-ethyl-carbodiimide hydrochloride (Aldrich), 2.80 mL (5.6 mmol) ethyl-amine (Aldrich, 2 M in dichloromethane) in dichloromethane (30 mL) is stirred at room temperature for 18 h. The reaction mixture is washed with NaOH 1 M (15 mL) and the organic phase is evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (gradient: cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 90:10 to 50:50) to yield the title compound (0.32 g, content ca. 90%).
