Water → N-(2-(benzyloxy)phenyl)-3-fluoroisonicotinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-fluoroisonicotinic acid (2.20 g, 15.6 mmol), 2-(benzyloxy)aniline (2.84 g, 14.2 mmol) and BOP (6.94 g, 15.6 mmol) in DMF (20.0 mL) was added TEA (4.4 mL, 31.2 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 min and poured into water. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×). The combined organic extracts were washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to a quarter volume. The resulting solid was found to be the desired compound. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to dryness. The residue was triturated in 30% ethyl acetate in hexanes and the 2 solids were combined to afford compound 24 (4.45 g, 97%) as a white solid. LRMS (ESI): (calc) 322.11 (found) 323.2 (MH)+.
