Trifluoroacetic anhydride → 3-(4-Bromo-2-(diethylcarbamoyl)phenoxy)-2-fluoropyridine 1-oxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-bromo-N,N-diethyl-2-(2-fluoropyridin-3-yloxy)benzamide (1.4 g, 3.81 mmol) and urea peroxide (1.076 g, 11.44 mmol) in 10 mL of DCM at 0 C was added dropwise trifluoroacetic anhydride (1.601 mL, 11.44 mmol) and the resulting reaction was stirred overnight. LCMS showed only less than 50% of desired conversion. The mixture was evaporated to dryness, quenched with Sat. NaHCO3, extracted with EA, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated to dryness. CC (DCM to DCM/EA=3:1 to DCM/MeOH=100:2 to 100:5 to 100:10) gave 3-(4-bromo-2-(diethylcarbamoyl)phenoxy)-2-fluoropyridine 1-oxide as an off white solid.
