(3-Amino-4-fluorophenyl)methanol → HCID 54724208, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 100 mL round bottomed flask equipped with stirbar, Dean-Stark trap and reflux condenser was charged with (3-amino-4-fluorophenyl)methanol (4.5 g, 31.9 mmol), 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-pyrone (4 g, 31.9 mmol) and o-dichlorobenzene (5 mL). The system was immersed in a 170 C oil bath for 10 minutes. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was chromatographed on reverse phase (75:25 water:acetonitrile with 0.05% TFA). The product contained some starting materials after purification and was used without further purification (1.27 g, 15%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, dmso-d6) δ 7.39 (m, 1H), 7.20 (dd, J=2.2 and 7.6 Hz, 1H), 6.74 (dd, J=2.7 and 9.6 Hz, 1H), 5.93 (dd, J=1.2 and 2.2 Hz, 1H), 5.22 (dd, J=0.4 and 2.2 Hz, 1H), 2.12 (s, 3H) ppm. ES-HRMS m/z 250.0862 (M+H calcd for C13H13FNO3 requires 250.0874).
