(2-Bromo-4-nitrophenyl)acetic acid → HCID 12404389, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (2-bromo-4-nitrophenyl)acetic acid (500 mg, 2 mmol) in 11 mL of concentrated ammonium hydroxide was added a solution of FeSO4.7H2O (3.4 g, 12 mmol) in 11 mL of water over 5 minutes, and then the mixture was heated to reflux for 1 hour. Cooled to ambient temperature, filtered off solids and the filtrate was adjusted to pH to 5 with 2N HCl. Extracted with EtOAc and combined organic layers were washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated to get (4-amino-2-bromophenyl)acetic acid. 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 7.01 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 6.92 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 6.62 (dd, J=2.5 Hz, 1H), 3.61 (s, 2H).
