Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-amino-N-benzyloxy-3,4,5,6-tetrafluoro-benzamide (Example V-3, 1.72 g, 5.47 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (50 mL) was reacted with a 20% solution of phosgene (4.25 mL, 8.00 mmol) in toluene and heated to 80° C. in a sealed tube for 18 hours. The mixture was then cooled, diluted with ethyl acetate, and washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3. The organic layer was dried with magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was triturated with diethyl ether and filtered to provide 0.95 g of the title compound as a solid.
