Hydrochloric Acid → 1-Bromo-3-cyclopropylmethoxy-4-difluoromethoxy-2-iodobenzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 20 ml of toluene solution containing 1.84 g (5.0 mmol) of 4-bromo-2-cyclopropylmethoxy-3-iodophenol obtained in Reference example 12-(d) were added 0.8 g (2.5 mmol) of tetrabutylammonium bromide and 10 ml of 35% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, and then, 5.0 g (62 mmol) of chlorodifluoromethane was blown thereinto at 80° C. over 30 minutes. After completion of the reaction, 2N hydrochloric acid was added to the reaction mixture to adjust a pH thereof to 5. The organic layer after separation was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was applied to silica gel column chromatography (Eluent; hexane:ethyl acetate=9:1 (V/V)), and the fractions containing the desired compound were concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 1.93 g of the title compound as a colorless oil. (Yield: 92%)
