4-Chloro-5-[4-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]benzene-1,2-diamine → HCID 178506262, compound

To a solution of 5-chloro-4-iodo-2-nitroaniline (2 g, 6.70 mmol) in dioxane (100 ml) and water (10 ml) which maintained with an inert atmosphere of nitrogen was added [4-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]boronic acid (1.8 g, 8.02 mmol), K3PO4 (2.6 g, 12.24 mmol), Pd(PPH3)4 (0.78 g, 335.77 mmol) with stirring overnight at 95° C. in an oil bath. The resulting mixture was concentrated under vacuum to give a residue which was purified by a silica gel column, eluting with 2% to 3% acetate in petroleum ether to produce 5-chloro-4-[4-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2-nitroaniline as a yellow solid (800 mg, 34%). Next, to a solution of 5-chloro-4-[4-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2-nitroaniline (1.6 g, 4.56 mmol) in ethanol (50 ml) was added Zn powder (1.8 g, 27.69 mmol), hydrogen chloride (2 ml) with stirring for 2 h at 85° C. in an oil bath. The solution was poured into water (300 ml), adjusted to pH 8 with saturated aqueous sodium carbonate and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×100 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (100 ml), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum to give a residue, which was purified by a silica gel column, eluting with 5% to 20% ethyl acetate in petroleum to produce 4-chloro-5-[4-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]benzene-1,2-diamine as a crude red solid (560 mg, 76%). Finally, the solution of 4-chloro-5-[4-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]benzene-1,2-diamine (100 mg, 0.31 mmol) in trifluoroacetic acid (5 m 1) and hydrogen chloride (1 ml) was stirred overnight at 80° C. in an oil bath. The mixture was quenched with water (100 ml), adjusted to pH 8 with saturated aqueous sodium carbonate solution and extracted with ethyl acetate (50 ml×3). The organic layers were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum to give a residue, which was purified by a silica gel column with 10% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether to afford 5-chloro-6-[4-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2-(trifluoro methyl)-1H-1,3-benzodiazole as a white solid (101.7 mg, 82%).
