O-Phenylenediamine → N-(2-amino-phenyl)-5-bromo-2-fluoro-benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Bromo-2-fluoro-benzoic acid (4.96 g, 22.6 mmol), benzene-1,2-diamine (4.90 g, 45.3 mmol), 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) (5.21 g, 27.2 mmol), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate (1-HOBt) (3.67 g, 27.2 mmol) and dimethyl-pyridin-4-yl-amine (DMAP) (0.03 g, 0.2 mmol) were placed into a 100 mL round bottom flask. Dry DMF (60 mL) was added and the reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. Solvent was removed under reduced pressure, then the crude diluted with DCM (15 mL) and 0.4 M Na2CO3 solution (15 mL) A white precipitate formed and it was filtered off and washed again with DCM (10 mL) and dried to afford 4.96 g of the title compound. Solutions were collected, the organic phase was separated from the aqueous one and concentrated under reduced pressure: other precipitate formed and it was filtered off, washed with DCM (3 mL) to afford other 0.68 g of desired compound. Total yield 81%.
