Dimethylformamide → (2,4-Difluoro-3-formyl-phenyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 2,4-difluoro-phenyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (123, 1.41 g, 6.17 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (60.0 mL) under an atmosphere of nitrogen at 78° C. were added n-butyllithium (2.50 M in hexane, 2.59 mL) for 30 min. Lithium diisopropylamide (2.0 M in hexane, 3.4 mL) was added to the reaction. After 35 min, N,N-dimethylformamide (1.05 mL, 0.0136 mol) was added to the reaction mixture. The reaction was allowed to cool to room temperature overnight. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated and purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with 20% ethyl acetate in hexane to provide compound 124.
