Methylamine → HCID 67211100, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-hydroxybenzofuran-3-carboxylic acid (1 g, 3.7 mmol, 1 eq), methylamine in THF (2 M solution) (0.689 g, 21.5 mmol, 1 eq), HOBT (0.83 g, 6.2 mmol, 1.7 eq), EDC.HCl (1.24 g, 6.6 mmol, 1.8 eq) in DMF at ambient temperature under nitrogen was added Diisopropyl ethylamine (2.32 g, 18.5 mmol, 3.0 eq). The clear mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 12 h. The LCMS indicated the desired product. The mixture was concentrated cooled in an ice-water bath, further diluted with water. The white solid was filtered and washed with water and dried in vacuum. Yield: 0.85 g (90%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 2.81-2.82 (d, 3H, J=4.5 Hz), 6.80-6.83 (m, 1H), 6.94-6.95 (d, 1H, J=2.3 Hz), 7.34-7.38 (t, 2H, J=8.7 Hz), 7.44-7.47 (d, 1H, J=8.8 Hz), 7.90-7.93 (m, 2H), 8.39-8.40 (d, 1H, J=4.4 Hz), 9.3 (s, 1H). LCMS: (ES+) m/z=286.1 (M+H).
