4-Nitrophenol → 4-Nitrophenyl 2-chloro-5-(pivalamidomethyl)benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-chloro-5-(pivalamidomethyl)benzoic acid (Intermediate-5, 300 mg, 1.12 mmol) in THF (5 mL) were added EDCI (210 mg, 1.09 mmol), p-nitrophenol (154 mg, 1.10 mmol) and DIPEA (558 mg, 4.39 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 4 h. Then water was added to the reaction mixture and it was extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with brine, separated, dried, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography to afford 222 mg of the title product. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO d6): δ 8.36 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 2H), 8.20 (t, 1H), 7.97 (s, 1H), 7.62-7.59 (m, 3H), 7.51 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 4.30 (d, J=6.0 Hz, 2H), 1.11 (s, 9H).
