Dimethylformamide → 5-(2,4-Difluoro-phenoxy)-2-nitro-benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of compound (1B) (53 g, 0.18 mol), thionyl chloride (51.3 mL) and DMF (1 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 18 h, then concentrated in vacuo to dryness. This acid chloride (60.7 g) was dissolved in THF (400 mL), and NH4OH (235 mL) was added. The mixture was then stirred for 18 h and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography eluting with hexane:EtOAc (4:1) to afford 27.7 g of 5-(2,4-difluoro-phenoxy)-2-nitro-benzamide (IC).
