Participants

Reaction Steps

5-(Difluoromethyl)-5-(3-fluoro-2-methylphenyl)-2-oxa-4-azabicyclo[4.1.0]hept-3-en-3-amine (0.470 g, 1.739 mmol) was dissolved in sulfuric acid, 95% (5 mL) and cooled in an ice bath. Sodium nitrate (0.177 g, 2.087 mmol) was added in one portion and the reaction stirred for 5 minutes. The reaction was warmed to rt and stirred for 1 hr and poured into a mixture of dichloromethane (50 mL), iced water (90 mL), and potassium phosphate tribasic (20.02 g, 87 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 5 minutes then saturated sodium bicarbonate was added slowly until pH 8. The phases were separated and the aqueous extracted with ethyl acetate (2×50 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was purified via silica gel flash chromatography eluting with 0-30% hexane to ethyl acetate to afford the title compound 5-(difluoromethyl)-5-(3-fluoro-2-methyl-5-nitrophenyl)-2-oxa-4-azabicyclo[4.1.0]hept-3-en-3-amine (0.22 g, 0.698 mmol, 40.1% yield). LC/MS (ESI+) m/z=316.1 (M+H).
