Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A 100 mL round bottom flask was charged with a magnetic stir bar, 2-fluoro-3-hydroxybenzonitrile (0.500 g, 3.65 mmol), MeCN (13.89 ml), 1-bromo-2-methylpropane (0.699 ml, 7.29 mmol), and K2CO3 (1.008 g, 7.29 mmol). The mixture was then placed in an oil bath and heated to 60° C. with stirring overnight. This mixture was then cooled to rt, filtered through a bed of Celite, and conc. In vacuo. The crude material was purified via silica gel chromatography (40 g) using ethyl acetate/hexanes (1:4) as eluent to afford pure 2-fluoro-3-isobutoxybenzonitrile (0.610 g, 87%) as a colorless oil. M/z 194.
