Isopropyl iodide → 6-Bromo-2,4'-difluoro-3-isopropoxybiphenyl-4-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Iodopropane (21.7 g) was added to a mixture of 6-bromo-2,4′-difluoro-3-hydroxybiphenyl-4-carbaldehyde (26.7 g) and potassium carbonate (23.6 g) in DMF (250 mL) at room temperature. The mixture was stirred at 60 C under nitrogen atmosphere for 3 hours. The mixture was quenched with water at room temperature and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated, washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (28.5 g).
