Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2-amino-4-chloro-6-trifluoromethylbenzoic acid (0.53 g, 2.2 mM) in dry tetrahydrofuran (6 mL) under a nitrogen atmosphere was added bis(trichloromethyl)carbonate (0.218 g, 0.734 mM). The resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 2 hr, poured into water and the resulting mixture extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined extracts were dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated to leave the title compound as a tan solid; MS(CI): 266 (M+H).
