Toluene → Ethyl 2-fluoro-4-(2-nitrophenylamino)benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.0 g ethyl 4-bromo-2-fluorobenzoate, 0.56 g 2-nitroaniline, 1.85 g cesium carbonate, 37 mg tris(dibenzylideneacetone)-dipalladium (0), 38 mg 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (racemic mixture) and 15 mL toluene were stirred at 100° C. for 24 hours under nitrogen atmosphere. Water was added thereto, then the reaction mixture was extracted with ether, and the organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate. After the solvent was evaporated, the residue was purified by NH silica gel chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane). By recrystallization from ethyl acetate/hexane, 0.95 g of the title compound was obtained as yellow crystals.
