Hydrochloric Acid → N-[4-Chloro-5-(cyclopentyloxy)-2-fluorophenyl]carbamic acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl N-(2-fluoro-4-chloro-5-methoxycarbonyloxyphenyl)carbamate (1.45 g, 4.97 mmol) prepared by the process described in Reference Example 1 and a solution of potassium carbonate (1.03 g, 7.46 mmol) in ethanol (50 ml) were stirred for 1 hour while refluxing, and then cyclopentyl bromide (1.11 g, 7.46 mmol) was added thereto, followed by further stirring for 2 hours. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was poured into 1N hydrochloric acid (50 ml), and extracted with ethyl acetate (50 ml×3 times). The organic layer was dried, and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain ethyl N-(2-fluoro-4-chloro-5-cyclopentyloxyphenyl)carbamate as grey white crystals (1.41 g, 4.69 mmol, 94.4% yield). The spectral data and the like are as shown in Reference Example 1.
