Cesium carbonate → Tert-butyl 4-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2-nitrobenzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 15 mL of toluene solution containing 1.5 g of tert-butyl 4-chloro-2-nitrobenzoate, 1.1 g of 2,4-difluorophenylboronic acid, 2.3 g of cesium carbonate, 27 mg of palladium acetate and 25 mg of 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,6′-dimethoxybiphenyl were added sequentially, and the resulting mixture was heated to reflux under nitrogen atmosphere for 8 hours. After the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, insoluble were removed by filtration and added a saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate aqueous solution. The organic layer was separated and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate after washed with 10% citric acid aqueous solution and a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution sequentially, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. Hexane and diisopropyl ether were added to the obtained residue and a solid substance was separated by filtration to obtain 0.95 g of tert-butyl 4-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2-nitrobenzoate as white solid.
