Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-6-bromophenol (1 g, 5.32 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 mL) and water (10 mL) was added sodium bicarbonate (1.028 g, 12.23 mmol). The mixture was cooled to 0° C. and chloroacetyl chloride (0.554 mL, 6.91 mmol) was added dropwise. The reaction was refluxed overnight. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was diluted with EtOAc, washed with water, dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to afford the title compound (1.14 g, 94% yield) as a dark brown solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.22 (br. s, 1H), 7.23 (dd, J=8.0, 1.4 Hz, 1H), 6.86 (t, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 6.76 (dd, J=7.9, 1.3 Hz, 1H), 4.74 (s, 2H).
