Reaction Steps

To a stirred, cooled (0° C.) solution of 3.64 g (25.0 mmol) of 4-chloro-2-fluoroaniline and 4.2 mL (30 mmol) of triethylamine in 50 mL of THF was added 4.18 mL (26 mmol) of pivaloyl chloride. After stirring for 10 min. at 0° C. the mixture was warmed to ambient temperature and poured into 0.5N HCl. The mixture was extracted with 100 mL of ether, and the organic extract was washed sequentially with NaHCO3 and brine. The solution was dried (MgSO4), concentrated under reduced pressure, and chromatographed on silica gel (elution with 3:1 hexanes-ether) to give, after removal of solvent, 5.2 g (92%) of 4′-chloro-2′-fluoro-2,2-dimethylpropionanilide as a pale pink solid (IX), mp 70.5-71° C. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ8.36(t, 1H, J=8.4 Hz); 7.57(br. s, 1H); 7.10-7.17(m, 2H); 1.30(s, 9H). 19F NMR (282 MHz, CDCl3) δ−129.8. High resolution mass spec: calculated for C11H14NOClF(M+H)+: 230.0748, found: 230.0760.
