Dimethyl Sulfoxide → HCID 89544754, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Step 3 A mixture of (3-bromomethyl-6-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-phenyl-methanone (292 mg, 0.896 mmol), sodium bicarbonate (700 mg, 8.33 mmol) and dimethylsulfoxide (10 ml) was heated to 80 degC for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was then allowed to cool, ethyl acetate was added, and the mixture was washed with water, aqueous lithium chloride and brine before drying (MgSO4) and concentrating in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica chromatography eluting with 0-20% ethyl acetate/petroleum ether to furnish 3-benzoyl-4-chloro-2-fluoro-benzaldehyde (115 mg oil, 90% clean). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 10.34 (1H, s), 7.97 (1H, dd), 7.91-7.86 (2H, m), 7.72-7.67 (1H, m), 7.55 (2H, t), 7.44 (1H, d), 7.28 (1H, s). MS: [M+NH4]+ 280
