Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-bromo-2,4-difluoro-3-nitrobenzene (0.128 g, 0.538 mmol) [Combi-Blocks, AN-3334] and cesium carbonate (0.211 g, 0.646 mmol) in dimethyl sulfoxide (0.59 mL) was treated with phenol (0.0609 g, 0.647 mmol) and stirred at 20° C. for 3 h, after which time the reaction mixture was diluted with water and ethyl acetate. Layers were separated and the organic layer was washed with brine, dried with magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to give a crude oil. Purification by preparative LCMS (XBridge C18 column, eluting with a gradient of acetonitrile/water containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid, at flow rate of 60 mL/min) gave the desired product (57 mg, 34%) as a yellow solid.
