Sodium hydride → 3-Fluoro-4-(3-nitropyridin-4-yloxy)benzenamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 4-amino-2-fluorophenol (see Step A of Example 19, 127 mg, 1.0 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) at rt under nitrogen was added sodium hydride (80 mg, 2 mmol, 60%). After stirring at rt for 10 min, 4-chloro-3-nitropyridine hydrochloride (Lancaster, 195 mg, 1.0 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at rt for 1 h and was then diluted with EtOAc (50 mL) and washed with water, 10% aqueous lithium chloride solution, and then brine (1×30 mL each). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with EtOAc to give the title compound (150 mg, 60%) as a yellow-orange solid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 9.13 (s, 1H), 8.63 (d, 1H, J=6 Hz), 7.09 (t, 1H, J=9.2 Hz), 6.92 (d, 1H, J=6 Hz), 6.55 (dd, 1H, J=13.2, 2.4 Hz), 6.45 (dd, 1H, J=9.2, 2.4 Hz), 5.61 (s, 2H); MS (ESI+) m/z 250.18 (M+H)+.
