Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared by reaction of 3,4-difluoro-2-{2-fluoro-4-[4-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)-1-butynyl]anilino}benzoic acid with CDI and 2-(aminooxy)ethanol by the general procedure of Example 1, Step E, then purified by column chromatography on silica gel (50% EtOAc/PE as eluant) to give 3,4-difluoro-2-{2-fluoro-4-[4-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)-1-butynyl]anilino}-N-(2-hydroxyethoxy)benzamide as a viscous transparent oil which was immediately dissolved in EtOH and treated with 1 M HCl according to the general procedure of Example 10, Step D. Purification of the resulting oil was carried out by filtration through a plug of silica gel (EtOAc as eluant) to give 3,4-difluoro-2-[2-fluoro-4-(4-hydroxy-1-butynyl)anilino]-N-(2-hydroxyethoxy)benzamide as a pale yellow crystalline solid (51%); m.p. (EtOAc/Et2O) 126–129° C. 1H NMR [400 MHz, (CD3)2SO] δ 11.82 (br s, 1 H), 8.85 (br s, 1 H), 7.45–7.39 (m, 1 H), 7.25–7.17 (m, 2H), 7.07 (dd, J=8.3, 1.4 Hz, 1 H), 6.78 (dd, J=8.8, 8.8, 4.7 Hz, 1 H), 4.88 (t, J=5.6 Hz, 1 H), 4.73 (br s, 1 H), 3.85 (t, J=4.8 Hz, 2 H), 3.59–3.53 (m, 4 H), 2.53 (t, J=6.9 Hz, 1 H). Anal. calcd. for C19H17F3N2O4.0.25Et2O: C, 58.2; H, 4.8; N, 6.8. Found C, 58.1; H, 4.8; N, 7.1.
