Participants

Reaction Steps

N-(3-Ethoxyphenyl)-2-fluoro-4-methylbenzenecarboximidamide To a solution of 2.2 ml (4.4 mmol) of 2.0 M (in tetrahydrofuran) sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide in 10 mL of tetrahydrofuran at ambient temperature was added 0.52 mL (4.0 mmol) of 3-ethoxyaniline and the resulting solution was stirred for 20 min. To this reaction mixture was added 0.54 g (4.0 mmol) of 4-fluoro-4-methylbenzonitrile. The resulting mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 hrs and then poured into brine (25 mL) and dichloromethane (50 mL). The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (25 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to yield the title compound as a pale green solid, which was used without further purification. LC/MS 273.2 (M+1).
