Reaktionsschritte

Heat a solution of 2-fluoro-5-trifluoromethyl-benzonitrile (1.0 g, 5.74 mmol) with 4,5-difluoro-2-nitro-phenylamine (1.09 g, 5.74 mmol) and lithium hydroxide monohydrate (0.48 g, 11.49 mmol) in DMSO (12 ml) to 55° C. for 16 hours. Cool the reaction to ambient temperature and then add approximately 150 ml of ice water and stir the mixture for one hour. Extract with three 200 ml portions of dichloromethane. Combine organic layers, dry over sodium sulfate and evaporate solvent. Purify the residue via flash chromatography eluting with a linear gradient starting with 100% hexanes and going to 70% hexanes: 30% ethyl acetate to obtain 0.995 g (2.90 mmol, 50% yield) of the title compound as a yellow amorphous solid: Mass Spectrum (m/e): 344 (M+1).
