Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-[3-(tert-Butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-propoxy]-4-fluoro-2-(4-iodo-2-methyl-phenylamino)-benzamide (4.0 g, 7.27 mmol) in methanol (5 mL) at ambient temperature was added 5 M H2SO4 in methanol (0.073 mL, 0.364 mmol). After 1 h of stirring, to the reaction was added additional 5 M H2SO4 in methanol (0.035 mL, 0.182 mmol). After 2 h of stirring, the reaction was adjusted to pH 7 using saturated NaHCO3 (aq) (c.a. 1.5 mL), followed by addition of water (35 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (1×20 mL, 2×10 mL). The extracts were combined, washed with brine, and dried over magnesium sulfate. The resultant mixture was filtered, and the filtrate solvent was removed in vacuo to obtain an oil that was dried on a vacuum pump over the weekend. The oil was purified by flash chromatography, eluted with a gradient of 100% hexanes to 100% ethyl acetate in 50 min. The solvent was removed in vacuo of combined fractions to obtain a solid which was dried on a vacuum pump for c.a. 6 h. Recrystalized solid in a mixture of hexanes and ethyl acetate to afford 4-fluoro-N-(3-hydroxy-propoxy)-2-(4-iodo-2-methyl-phenylamino)-benzamide as a solid (2.4 g, 74% yield): m.p. 120.8-122.4 C; 1H-NMR (400 MHz, (CD3)2CO) δ 10.91 (br s, 1H), 9.59 (br. S, 1H), 9.68 (m, 2H), 7.57 (d, 1H, J=8.54 Hz), 7.18 (d, 1H, J=8.34 Hz), 6.72 (m, 1H); 6.53 (m, 1H); 4.12 (t, 2H, J=6.11 Hz), 3.71 (t, 2H, J=5.86 Hz), 2.26 (s, 3H), 1.86 (m, 2H); 19F-NMR (376 MHz, (CD3)2CO) δ −108.14; MS 445.1 m/z (AP+), 443.1 m/z (AP−).
