Reaction Steps

The mixture of 1-iodo-7-methoxy-2-nitronaphthalene (3.7 g, 11.24 mmol), CuI (2.3 g, 12.08 mmol) and KF (1 g, 17.24 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (50 ml) was stirred for 0.5 h at 120° C. before the addition of 2,2-difluoro-2-(fluorosulfonyl)acetate (2.3 g, 11.97 mmol). The resulting solution was stirred for another 0.5 h at 120° C. and then quenched by water (300 ml). The crude product was extracted with dichloromethane (3×100 ml) and the organic fractions were combined and washed by brine (3×150 ml). The organic layers were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under vacuum to give a residue, which was purified by silica gel column chromatography using 1%-10% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether to afford 7-methoxy-2-nitro-1-(trifluoromethyl)naphthalene as a off-white solid (2 g, 66%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO): δ 8.48 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 8.21 (d, J=9.3 Hz, 1H), 7.84 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 7.56 (dd, J=9.0, 2.1 Hz, 1H), 7.41 (s, 1H), 3.96 (s, 3H).
