2-Fluoroethanol → HCID 53853967, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

5 ml of 2-fluoroethanol and 3 drops of concentrated sulfuric acid were added to 2.4 g (8.2 mmol) of 4-hydroxy-5-chloro-6-ethoxycarbonyl-8-flurothiochroman (corresponding to compound of the formula (IX)), and the mixture was refluxed under heat for 5 hours. After allowed to cool, the reaction mixture was poured into an ice bath, and extracted with ethyl acetate twice. An organic layer was washed with a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off to give 2.2 g (yield 79%) of 4-(2-fluoroethoxy)-5-chloro-6-ethoxycarbonyl-8-fluorothiochroman (corresponding to compound of the formula (X)).
