Diisopropylethylamine → HCID 10162188, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(2-chloro-4-iodo-phenylamino)-3,4-difluoro-benzoic acid pentafluorophenyl ester (10.0 g, 17.4 mmol) in anhydrous dimethylformamide (36 mL) was added 2-(aminooxy)-ethanol (1.6 g, 20.8 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (6.0 mL, 34.8 mmol). The resultant solution was stirred at ambient temperature for 16 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated to 20% volume then diluted with ethyl acetate (360 mL). The resultant solution was washed with water (6×60 mL) and brine (2×60 mL). The organics were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford a white solid that was purified on silica gel. Elution with ethyl acetate-methanol (9:1) afforded 2-(2-chloro-4-iodo-phenylamino)-3,4-difluoro-N-(2-hydroxy-ethoxy)-benzamide (7.31 g, 90%) as a white solid. Recrystallization from methanol afforded analytically pure material, identical in all respects to the material prepared by method A.
