Benzene, 1-(chloromethyl)-2-fluoro- → HCID 54068788, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

5 g (19 mmol) of methyl 1-hydroxy-2-naphthylglyoxylate O-methyloxime, 2.7 g (19 mmol) of 2-fluorobenzyl chloride and 2.6 g (19 mmol) of potassium carbonate in 65 ml of methanol are stirred under reflux for 8 h. The mixture is cooled to room temperature and the solids are removed by filtration. The filtrate is concentrated, and dilute sodium hydroxide solution is added. The mixture is then extracted by shaking several times with ether; the combined ether phases are washed with H2O, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. 5 g (13.6 mmol) of methyl 1-(2-fluorobenzyloxy)-2-naphthylglyoxylate O-methyloxime (yield 71%) are obtained (compound no. 2, Table 1).
