2-Bromo-4-nitrophenol → 2-Bromo-1-(difluoromethoxy)-4-nitrobenzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

The compound was prepared starting from commercially available 2-bromo-4-nitrophenol, which was reacted with 2-chloro-2,2-difluoroacetophenone (J. Hu et al., J. Org. Chem., 2006, 71, 9845) to yield 2-bromo-1-difluoromethoxy-4-nitro-benzene. Subsequent Buchwald-Hartwig coupling of 2-bromo-1-difluoromethoxy-4-nitro-benzene with tert.butyloxycarbonyl-piperazine by analogy to preparation example 3.1, reduction of the nitro group to the corresponding aniline by analogy to preparation example 3.2, subsequent coupling with commercially available 2-difluoromethoxybenzene-sulfonylchloride by analogy to preparation example 1.4, and final deprotection under acidic conditions by analogy to example 1 yielded the title compound.
