Sodium hydride → Tert-butyl 2-fluoro-4-(2-(methylamino)-3-nitropyridin-4-yloxy)phenylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Tert-butyl 2-fluoro-4-hydroxyphenylcarbamate (3.25 g, 14.4 mmol) was dissolved in DMSO (25 mL) and the solution was stirred under an argon atmosphere for 20 minutes. Sodium hydride (60% in mineral oil, 580 mg, 14.4 mmol) was added portionwise and the dark solution was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. 4-chloro-N-methyl-3-nitropyridin-2-amine (2.7 g, 14.4 mmol) dissolved in DMSO (5 mL) was added at once and the red solution was stirred at 50° C. for 2 hours. The solution was cooled, poured onto crushed ice (200 g) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×100 mL). The organic phases were washed with brine, dried and evaporated to give the title compound as a yellow solid.
