Participants

Reaction Steps

To a flask containing 4-(3,5-dimethylisoxazol-4-yl)-2-iodo-6-nitroaniline (1000 mg, 2.78 mmol, 1 equiv) was added DMF (15 mL, 0.2 M), cesium carbonate (1.4 gm, 4.17 mmol, 1.5 equiv.) and idomethane (260 μL, 4.17 mmol, 1.5 equiv). After an hour, the reaction was quenched with water and partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried over sodium sulfate. Purification was carried out by flash column chromatography to furnish 4-(3,5-dimethylisoxazol-4-yl)-2-iodo-N-methyl-6-nitroaniline (615 mg, 60%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, cdcl3) δ 7.81 (t, J=3.0 Hz, 1H), 7.70 (d, J=2.1 Hz, 1H), 2.97 (s, 3H), 2.40 (d, J=16.8 Hz, 3H), 2.26 (d, J=14.2 Hz, 3H).
