Water → 3-Bromo-6-{[(tert-butoxy)carbonyl]amino}-2-methylbenzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of Example 104A (10 g, 40 mmol) and tetrabutylammonium tribromide (19.2 g, 40 mmol) in DMF (250 mL) was treated slowly with water (250 mL). The resulting suspension was stirred for 18 hours and partitioned between water (1.2 L) and ethyl acetate (500 mL). The organic layer was washed with water (2×1 L), dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (900 mL), washed with water (5×1 L) and brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated to provide the desired product (11.7 g). MS (ESI(−)) m/e 328, 330 (M−H)−; 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 13.60 (br s, 1H), 9.68 (s, 1H), 7.63 (d, 1H), 7.39 (d, 1H), 2.37 (s, 3H), 1.44 (s, 9H).
