Cesium carbonate → N-Cyclopropyl-4-fluoro-2-(2-oxiranylmethoxy)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixturte of N-cyclopropyl-4-fluoro-2-hydroxybenzamide (195 mg, 1.0 mmol), (2S)-oxiran-2-ylmethyl3-nitrobenzenesulfonate (259 mg, 1.0 mmol) and Cs2CO3 (390 mg, 1.2 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel flash chromatography (0-30% ethylacetate in petroleum ether) to give the subtitled compound (150 mg).
