Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared with the analogous procedure described in example 1 using 2-Iodo-4-methoxy-1-nitrobenzene (140 mg, 0.5 mmol) and N-Phenyl-formamide (73 mg, 0.6 mmol) as starting materials to yield the title compound as viscous oil (62 mg, 56%). 1H NMR (DMSO) δ 2.58 (s, 3 H), 2.64 (s, 3 H), 7.37 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1 H), 7.44 (dd, J=8.1, 7.3 Hz, 1 H), 7.48-7.52 (m, 1 H), 7.54 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 2 H), 7.61 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 2 H), 7.86 (d, J=7.3 Hz, 1 H).
