Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-bromo-2-chlorobenzoic acid (2.35 g, 10 mmol), 1,2-benzenediamine (1.08 g, 10 mmol) and copper (0.63 g, 10 mmol) in chlorobenzene (150 mL) was heated to reflux for 48 hours and filtered. The filter cake was washed with ethyl acetate several times. The combined filtrates were concentrated under vacuum and the residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel with 8:2 hexanes/ethyl acetate to provide 1.20 g (22%) of the desired product. MS (DCI) m/e 289 (M+H)+, 307 (M+NH4)+; 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 9.90 (s, 1H), 8.02 (s, 1H), 7.62 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.24 (d, J=1.8 Hz, 1H), 7.06 (dd, J=8.4, 1.8 Hz, 1H), 6.92-6.95 (m, 5H).
