Ethyl 4-bromobenzoate → 4-Bromobenzohydrazide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl-4-bromobenzoate is treated with hydrazine monohydrate in methanol under reflux conditions to obtain product X, 4-bromobenzoic hydrazide. Reaction of compound X with bromobenzoic acid in pyridine at 120° C. gives product XI, bis-(4-bromophenyl) hydrazine. Compound XI is then treated with sulfonyl chloride to afford 2,5-bis-(4-bromophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (Compound XII), which is further reacted 2-isopropoxy-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane under conditions similar to step-3 in Example 1. The resulting product thus obtained is subjected to Suzuki coupling conditions similar to step-5 in Example 1 to obtain the desired product XIII. Other alligator clips which can be introduced are CN, SCN, NH2, pyridine.
