Participants

Reaction Steps

3,3-Dimethylbutanoyl chloride (3.37 g, 3.5 mL, 25 mmol) and triethylamine (2.53 g, 3.5 mL, 25 mmol) were added to a solution of 4-bromo-2,6-dimethyl phenylamine (5.0 g, 25 mmol) in acetonitrile (30 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. Water was added to the mixture and the precipitate formed collected to give the title compound as a powder (7.46 g, 100% yield).
