Potassium Carbonate → HCID 67015876, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl 3-fluoro-4-nitrobenzoate (8.72 g, 43.8 mmol) was added to a suspension of 2-ethylhexyl 3-sulfanylpropanoate (10.5 g, 48.2 mmol) and potassium carbonate (9.08 g, 65.7 mmol) in DMF (50 mL) at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred for 16 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, and the mixture was washed with water, 10% aqueous potassium carbonate solution and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=9:1 to 7:3) to give the title compound (14.4 g, yield 83%).
