Reaction Steps

To a solution of the product of Example 8, Step A, 2-(2-Chloro-4-trimethylsilanylethynyl-phenylamino)-3,4-difluoro-N-(2-hydroxy-ethoxy)-benzamide (0.704 g, 1.60 mmol) in methanol (21 mL) was added acetic acid (0.1 mL) and cesium fluoride (0.600 g, 3.95 mmol). The resultant solution was stirred at ambient temperature. After 26 hours, the reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate (100 mL) and water (25 mL) and the organic layer was further washed with water (25 mL) and saturated brine (25 mL). The combined aqueous was extracted with ethyl acetate (50 mL). The combined organics were dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to a dark brown oil. Ether (15 mL) was added and crystallization ensued. The cream-colored solid was collected and dried under vacuum at 70° C. to afford 2-(2-chloro-4-ethynyl-phenylamino)-3,4-difluoro-N-(2-hydroxy-ethoxy)-benzamide (0.290 g): m.p. 155-157° C.; 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 11.94 (br s, 1 H), 8.95 (br s, 1 H), 7.55 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1 H), 7,48 (m, 1 H), 7.34-7.27 (m, 2 H), 6.74 (dd, J=8.4, 6.5 Hz, 1 H), 4.71 (br s, 1 H), 4.13 (s, 1 H), 3.88 (t, J=4.6 Hz, 2 H), 3.58 (t, J=4.7 Hz, 2H); MS (APCI+)=367.0; MS (APCI−)=365.0; Anal. Calcd/found for C17H13ClF2N2O3: C, 55.67/55.54; H, 3.57/3.23; N, 7.64/7.31. Concentration of the mother liquor afforded an additional crop of product (0.209 g, 85% total yield).
