Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2-Fluoro-5-nitro-N-phenyl benzamide (100 mg, 0.38 mmol) was suspended in EtOH (10 mL) and the mixture heated to 50° C. To the resulting solution was added hydrazine monohydrate (0.1 mL, 1.9 mmol). The mixture was heated at reflux for 30 minutes, at which time LC-MS showed complete conversion to the aryl hydrazine (ES+m/e=273). The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, concentrated and the residue partitioned between EtOAc and saturated ammonium chloride solution. The layers were separated and the organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to a yellow foam. The residue was dissolved in phosphorous oxychloride (5 mL) and the mixture heated at 90° C. for 30 minutes, then allowed to cool to room temperature and stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated and the residue partitioned between EtOAc and saturated sodium bicarbonate. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to afford the title compound as a red solid (80 mg, 83%); 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO) 6.88 (1H, t), 7.31 (2H, t), 7.51 (1H, d), 7.74 (2H, t), 8.17 (1H, dd), 9.24 (1H, s), 9.42 (1H, s), 12.74 (1H, s); MS (ES+) m/e=255.
