Ethyl Acetate → 5-Cyclopropyl-2-fluoroaniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

Stir the mixture of 5-bromo-2-fluoroaniline (800 mg, 4.26 mmol), cyclopropylboronic acid (434 mg, 5.05 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (242 mg, 0.21 mmol), cesium carbonate (2.7 g, 8.28 mmol) in dioxane (5 mL) and water (0.3 mL) under N2 atmosphere at 100° C. for 17 hrs. TLC (EtOAc:PE=1:3) shows the reaction is complete. Filter off the solid, concentrate the filtrate. Purify by flash chromatography (silica gel, EtOAc:PE=3:7) to afford the title compound (350 mg, 55%). MS: (M+1): 152.1.
