Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-4-fluoro-5-aminophenol (1.02 g, 6.28 mmol), potassium carbonate (1.72 g, 12.4 mmol), potassium iodide (4.0 mg, 0.024 mmol) and N,N-dimethylformamide (5 ml) as a solvent were placed in a two-necked round bottom flask (25 cc) and stirred at 80° C. for one hour. Then, cyclopentyl bromide (1.00 g, 6.71 mmol) was added thereto, followed by stirring at 80° C. for further 2 hours. After completion of the reaction, the reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, water (20 ml) was added thereto, and the mixture was extracted with toluene (20 ml×3 portions). The organic layers were combined, washed with water (10 ml) and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (10 ml) and dried over magnesium sulfate. After removing the drying agent, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain 2-fluoro-4-chloro-5-cyclopentyloxyaniline (1.43 g, 6.23 mmol, 99.0% yield).
