Reaktionsschritte

To an ice-cooled slurry of AlCl3 (2.01 g, 15.1 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL) was slowly added 4-chlorocarbonyl-benzoic acid methyl ester (2 g, 10.1 mmol) in dichloromethane (5 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred for 20 min in the ice bath then 2-fluoroanisole (1.4 mL, 12.1 mmol) in dichloromethane (5 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 h. The reaction mixture was poured into ice cold 1 N HCl (10 mL) and the mixture was stirred for 15 min. The reaction mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane and the organic extracts were combined, washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude solid was triturated with hot hexanes, filtered and washed with hexanes to give 0.5 g (17%) of compound 173 as a white powder. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 3.89 (s, 3 H), 3.94 (s, 3 H), 7.32 (t, J=8.5 Hz, 1 H), 7.57 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1 H), 7.59-7.63 (m, 1 H), 7.81 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 2 H), 8.04 (s, 1 H), 8.10 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 2 H).
