Potassium Carbonate → 3-Bromo-4-(4-formyl-phenoxy)-benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Add K2CO3 (1.49 g, 10.8 mmol) to a solution of 4-fluorobenzaldehyde (1.16 mL, 10.8 mmol) and 3-bromo-4-hydroxy-benzamide (1.16 g, 5.4 mmol) in DMF (20 mL). Heat the mixture under N2 overnight. Cool the mixture at room temperature and pour it into ice-water. Extract the aqueous layer with EtOAc. Dry the organic layer over Na2SO4. Eliminate the solvent. Purify by flash chromatography (eluent: EtOAc/hexane 2/1 and 4/1) to get the title compound (1.0 g, 58%). 1H-NMR (metanol-d4, 300 MHz): 9.84 (s, 1H), 8.18 (d, 1H, J=2.0 Hz), 7.88-7.83 (m, 3H), 7.13 (d, 1H, J=8.5 Hz), 7.04-7.01 (m, 2H).
