Reaction Steps

2,2-Diethoxy-ethanol (0.209 g, 1.2135 mmol) was added to a cooled suspension of NaH (0.034 g, 1.456 mmol) in THF (5 mL) at 0° C. and the resulting mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at 20-40° C. 2-Fluoro-4-iodo-phenyl-(2,3,5-trifluoro-6-nitro-phenyl)-amine (0.5 g, 1.2135 mmol) in THF (10 mL) was added slowly to the reaction mass at 0° C. and stirring was continued for a further 15 minutes. The reaction mass was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction was monitored by TLC (20% ethyl acetate in hexane). The reaction mass was concentrated under reduced pressure and the concentrate was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water, brine solution, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the crude compound. Purification by column chromatography on silica gel (15% ethyl acetate in hexane) afforded 0.3 g of the product (47% yield). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz): δ 7.42 (d, 1H), 7.35 (d, 1H), 6.90 (bs, 1H), 6.58-6.68 (m, 2H), 4.58 (t, 1H), 4.15 (d, 2H), 3.51-3.80 (m, 4H), 1.22 (t, 6H).
