Potassium Carbonate → HCID 67015805, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of methyl 4-fluoro-3-nitrobenzoate (10.0 g, 50.2 mmol) and potassium carbonate (13.9 g, 100 mmol) in DMF (120 mL) was added dropwise under ice-cooling 2-ethylhexyl 3-sulfanylpropanoate (12.1 g, 55.2 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 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. This solution was applied to basic silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate). The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=19:1 to 3:1) to give the title compound (20.0 g, quantitative).
