Ethyl bromodifluoroacetate → HCID 71143765, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Compound 10 was prepared in a similar manner to compound 1. To a stirred solution of ethyl 2-bromo-2,2-difluoroacetate (2.18 mL, 17.0 mmol) in DMSO (18 mL) was added copper powder (2.16 g, 34.0 mmol) at RT under N2 atmosphere. After being stirred for 2 h at RT, 2-bromo-5-fluoropyridine (1.50 g, 8.52 mmol) was then added, and stirring was continued for 3 h at RT. The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC. The reaction was quenched with aqueous NH4Cl and extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×50 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford crude product mixture. Purification by column chromatography (eluting with EtOAc/hexane) afforded the ester (1.40 g, 6.3 mmol, 77%) as a pale yellow oil. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.50 (s, 1H), 7.78 (dd, J=9.0, 4.0 Hz, 1H), 7.60-7.51 (m, 1H), 4.42-4.32 (m, 2H), 1.39-1.31 (m, 3H). MS (ESI): m/z 220 [M++1].
