Participants

Reaction Steps

Cs2CO3 (1.30 g, 4 mmol) was added to a mixture of 5-chloro-2-nitrofluorobenzene (352 mg, 2 mmol) and methyl 2-hydroxybenzoate (0.52 mL, 4 mmol) in DMF (6 mL) and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2, washed with water, dried (Na2SO4), concentrated and flash chromatographed (SiO2, heptane:EtOAc, 10:1-4:1) to give 505 mg (82%) of the title compound (189JO29A). 1H NMR (CDCl3) d 8.02 (dd, 1H, J=1.8, 7.8 Hz), 7.96 (d, 1H, J=1.9 Hz), 7.59 (dt, 1H, J=2.0, 7.6 Hz), 7.39 (dd, 1H, J=2.5, 9.0 Hz), 7.24 (dt, 1H, J=1.2, 7.6 Hz), 7.13 (dd, 1H, J=1.2, 8.0 Hz), 6.74 (d, 1H, J=9.0 Hz), 3.77 (s, 3H).
