Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-amino-5-ethoxy-4-iodo-benzaldehyde (0.27 g, 0.93 mmol, 1.0 equiv; intermediate 25) and acetyl chloride (0.138 mL, 0.153 g, 1.95 mmol, 2.1 equiv) in anhydrous DMF (5 mL) was added diisopropylethylamine (0.48 mL, 0.36 g, 2.78 mmol, 3.0 equiv) and the mixture stirred at 50° C. for 48 h. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure and purification of the crude reaction mixture with column chromatography on silica eluting with a gradient of heptane/ethyl acetate (4:1→1:1) yielded 0.11 g (35%) of the title compound. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 1.51 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 3H), 2.29 (s, 3H), 4.19 (q, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 7.06 (s, 1H), 7.76 (br s, 1H), 8.42 (s, 1H), 9.96 (s, 1H). MS (ISP): 334.0 [M+H]+.
