Potassium Carbonate → 2,4-Oxazolidinedione, 3-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-5-((1-methyl-2-propyn-1-yl)oxy)phenyl)-5-(1-methylethylidene)-

Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetonitrile (50 ml) was added to a mixture comprising 3N-(2-fluoro-4-chloro-5-hydroxyphenyl)-5-isopropylidene-1,3-oxazolidine-2,4-dione (5.0 g, 15.7 mmol), 1-butyn-3-yl p-toluenesulfonate (4.0 g, 17.8 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.5 g, 10.9 mmol), and the reaction mixture was heated for 4 hours under reflux. After reaction, acetonitrile was removed by distillation under reduced pressure, and 1N hydrochloric acid (100 ml) was added to the residue, which was then extracted with ether (50 ml×2). After dried, ether was removed by distillation under reduced pressure, and an oily product of 3N-{2-fluoro-4-chloro-5-(1-butyn-3-yl)oxyphenyl}-5-isopropylidene-1,3-oxazolidine-2,4-dione was obtained. This was recrystallized from ether/hexane, and a pure product (4.94 g, 14.6 mmol) was obtained. Yield: 83.6%. Spectral and other data of the product are those as shown in Example 30.
