참여 물질

반응 단계

A suspension of methyl-2-amino-3-methoxybenzoate (Intermediate 36, 2.27 g, 12.5 mmol) in water (10 mL) and con. HCl (2 mL) was cooled to 0 deg. C. and a solution of sodium nitrite (1.04 g, 15 mmol) in water (10 mL) was added dropwise. The resulting solution was stirred cold for 30 min. then added to a suspension of copper(I)cyanide (3.4 g, 38 mmol) in water (100 mL). The resulting suspension was heated at 60 deg. C. for 3 h, cooled, chloroform was added and the mixture was filtered through celite. The organic layer was dried (MgSO4), the solvent was evaporated and the residue was flash chromatographed eluting with 0-50% hexane-ethyl acetate affording Intermediate 37 (0.56 g, 23.5%) as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 3.99 (s, 6 H), 7.20 (d, J=8.35 Hz, 1 H), 7.61 (t, J=8.13 Hz, 1 H), 7.68 (d, J=7.47 Hz, 1 H).
