Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Cyclopentyl propionyl chloride (1.28 g, 8.0 mmol) was added to a solution of 4-bromo-2-chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)aniline (2.0 g, 7.3 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. Water was added to the mixture, which was then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. Purification by column chromatography (100% DCM) afforded the title compound as a powder.
