Iodopentafluoroethane → HCID 131735951, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a saturated solution of pentafluoroiodoethane (0.84 M, in diethyl ether) (73.8 mL, 62.0 mmol), was slowly added a solution of methyllithium/lithium bromide (1.5 M, in diethyl ether) (41.3 mL, 62.0 mmol) under nitrogen atmosphere at −78° C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 20 minutes and then 3-(2-bromo-pyridin-4-yl)-N-methoxy-N-methyl-acrylamide (5.6 g, 20.7 mmol, in diethyl ether/tetrahydrofuran 30.0 mL/30.0 mL) prepared in Step 2 was added thereto at −78° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 1 hour, quenched with distilled water at room temperature, acidified by a 10% potassium hydrogen sulfate solution (pH=5), and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with a saturated solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate, dried on anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated under reduced pressure to give a yellow liquid residue. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: ethyl acetate/n-hexane=1/5) to give 2.9 g of the titled compound as a white solid.
