Participants

Reaction Steps

A 3 L single necked round bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer was charged with a solution of 5-chloro-2-(2-chloro-4-iodo-phenylamino)-N-((S)-2,2-dimethyl-[1,3]dioxolan-4-ylmethoxy)-3,4-difluoro-benzamide (69.9 g, 122 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (1.5 L). Aqueous 1N hydrochloric acid (500 mL) solution was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 18 hrs. The reaction mixture was concentrated and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×800 mL). The organic extracts were washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (500 ml) and brine (500 ml), and dried (MgSO4). The crude pale yellow solid was recrystallized from ethyl acetate/hexane and dried at 70° C. in vacuum oven to afford 5-Chloro-2-(2-chloro-4-iodo-phenylamino)-N-((S)-2,3-dihydroxy-propoxy)-3,4-difluoro-benzamide (35 g, 54%) as pale yellow crystals: m.p. 153-154° C.; [α]=+3.36° (c=1.04, methanol); 1H NMR (d6-DMSO) δ 12.02 (s, 1H), 8.85 (s, 1H), 7.74 (s, 1H), 7.64 (d, 1H), 7.45 (d, 1H), 6.66 (t, 1H), 4.82 (s, 1H), 4.58 (s, 1H), 3.88 (m, 2H), 3.74 (m, 3H); 19F NMR (d6-DMSO) δ −133.21 (s, 1F), −137.18 (s, 1F); MS (m/z): 534 (68), 532 (100), 483 (28), 481 (41), 440 (51). Anal. calcd/found for C16H13Cl2F2IN2O4: C, 36.05/36.36; H, 2.46/2.38; N, 5.25/5.30; F, 7.13/7.15; Cl, 13.30/13.76; I, 23.80/23.83.
