Participants

Reaction Steps

The ester from Step 2 (0.51 g 1.5 mmol) was dissolved in THF (5 mL) and ethanol (5 mL), treated with 2.5N sodium hydroxide (1.2 mL, 3.0 mmol), and stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo, acidified with 3N HCl extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, brine, dried over MgSO4, concentrated in vacuo, and recrystallized from diethyl ether/hexane to give a white powder (0.10 g, 21%): mp 238.1–239.7° C. 1H NMR (acetone-d6/300 MHz) 7.97 (s, 1H), 7.92 (d, 1H, J=2.4 Hz), 7.89 (d, 1H, J=2.4 Hz), 6.14 (q, 1H, J=6.6 Hz). FABLRMS m/z 302 (M−H). ESHRMS m/z 301.9819 (M−H, Calc'd 301.9832). Anal. Calc'd for C12H5ClF3NO3: C, 47.47; H, 1.66; N, 4.61. Found: C, 47.41; H, 1.70; N, 4.55.
