4-Amino-2-chlorobenzonitrile → HCID 86729771, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-amino-2-chlorobenzonitrile (1229 mg, 8.06 mmol), 3-oxabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2,4-dione (1016 mg, 8.06 mmol) and TEA (1.123 mL, 8.06 mmol) in toluene (10 mL) was stirred at 80° C. for 14 hr. To the reaction mixture was added brine at room temperature, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine, and dried, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by COOH-silica gel column chromatography (solvent gradient; 10 to 100% ethyl acetate/hexane), and crystallized from ethyl acetate to give 2-((3-chloro-4-cyanophenyl)carbamoyl)cyclobutanecarboxylic acid (795 mg, 2.85 mmol, 35.4%) as colorless crystals.
