Oxalyl chloride → Ethyl 7-(4-(2-bromophenethylcarbamoyl)phenoxy)-6-chlorochroman-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(6-Chloro-4-(ethoxycarbonyl)chroman-7-yloxy)benzoic acid (Preparation 1) (200 mg, 0.531 mmol) was diluted with DCM (3 mL) followed by the addition of oxalyl chloride in DCM (2M) (292 μl, 0.584 mmol) and DMF (1 drop). After stirring for 20 minutes, 2-(2-bromophenyl)ethanamine (117 mg, 0.584 mmol) and DIEA (203 μl, 1.17 mmol) were added and the reaction was stirred at ambient temperature for 12 hours. The reaction was loaded directly onto a biotage 25 cartridge and eluted with 5% ethyl acetate/hexanes to 75% ethyl acetate/hexanes to yield ethyl 7-(4-(2-bromophenethylcarbamoyl)phenoxy)-6-chlorochroman-4-carboxylate (268 mg, 0.480 mmol, 90.3% yield).
