2-Bromopropane → Benzenamine, 4-chloro-2-fluoro-5-(1-methylethoxy)-

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirring mixture of 5-amino-2-chloro-4-fluorophenol (22.0 g, 136.19 mmol), 2-bromopropane (38.4 mL, 50.25 g, 408.57 mmol) and potassium carbonate (37.6 g, 273.0 mmol) was heated at reflux for 17 h. The reaction mixture was cooled and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. Flash chromatography yielded the title compound of Step A as a brown oil (17.2 g). 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ7.02 (d, 1H), 6.44 (d, 1H) 4.38 (q, 1H), 3.81 (br s,2H), 1.33 (d,6H). IR (cm-1): 3378.4, 3475.6.
