Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 1,2-dichloroethane (30 mL) solution of 3-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)-benzaldehyde (2.00 g, 9.0 mmol) was added 3-bromoaniline (0.98 mL, 9.0 mmol), NaB(OAc)3H (2.48 g, 11.7 mmol) and acetic acid (0.57 mL, 10 mmol). The cloudy mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour . The reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed with saturated NaHCO3 and brine, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to yield 3.27 g (96%) of the desired N-(3-bromophenyl)-[[3-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)phenyl]methyl]amine product as a brown oil which was used without further purification. MS m/z=377 [M+].
