Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Ethyl alcohol (30 ml) and a 2N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (50 ml) were added to methyl N-(2-fluoro-4-chloro-5-cyclopentyloxyphenyl)carbamate obtained above, and the mixture was stirred For 4 hours while heating on an oil bath at 110° C. After completion of the reaction, the solvent was distilled off, and the residue was extracted with ethyl acetate (100 ml×3 times). The organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, dried, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain oily 2-fluoro-4-chloro-5-cyclopentyloxyaniline (4.38 g, 19.0 mmol, 95.0% yield). The spectral data and the like are as shown in Reference Example 1.
