Hydrochloric Acid → 1-(4-Amino-3,5-difluorophenyl)ethan-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 2,6-difluoro-4-iodoaniline (1 g, 3.92 mmol) and Pd(OAc)2 (0.025 eq), DPPP (0.05 eq) in [bmim][3F3] (6 mL) was stirred for 10 min. After the mixture was degassed three times, butyl vinyl ether (5 eq) and Et3N (1.2 eq) were injected sequentially. The mixture was stirred for 15 hrs at 115° C. The mixture cooled to room temperature, and then was added 1N-HCl. After the mixture was stirred for 0.5 hour, CH2Cl2 was added. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was purified by chromatography to give 1-(4-amino-3,5-difluoro-phenyl)-ethanone (300 mg, 45%).
