Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A reaction vessel was charged with 2-fluoro-N-phenylaniline (0.4 g, 2.1 mmol), palladium diacetate (0.025 g, 0.1 mmol), potassium carbonate (0.030 g, 0.21 mmol), and pivalic acid (1.8 g), placed under an oxygen balloon, and heated at 120° C. Additional portions of palladium diacetate (0.025 g, 0.1 mmol) were added at 48 hours and 72 hours, and the mixture was heated for 4 days. The cooled reaction mixture was diluted with methylene chloride, washed with saturated aqueous sodium carbonate, dried (anhydrous sodium sulfate), filtered through a pad of silica gel, and concentrated. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (5-30% methylene chloride in hexanes) to give the desired product as a white solid (0.181 g, 46%). 1H NMR (d6-DMSO, 300 MHz) δ 11.65 (s, 1H), 8.13-8.11 (dd, 1H, J=0.6, 7.5 Hz), 7.94-7.91 (d, 1H, J=7.8 Hz), 7.50-7.38 (m, 2H), 7.25-7.07 (m, 3H). HPLC analysis (C18, 5-95% acetonitrile in H2O+0.1% trifluoroacetic acid over 20 min: retention time, % area at 254 nm): 9.65 min, 100%.
