Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-bromo-2,6-difluorobenzaldehyde (2.00 g, 9.05 mmol), 2-methyl-2-propanethiol (0.917 mL, 8.13 mmol), and potassium carbonate (1.5 g, 11 mmol) in DMF (6 mL) was heated to 50° C. overnight in a sealed tube. The material was extracted with EtOAc, and washed with water (3×). Purification of the organic layer by column chromatography (1 to 2% EtOAc:hexanes) afforded 1.2 g (51%) of the title compound as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 1.34 (s, 9 H), 7.07-7.16 (m, 1 H), 7.91 (dd, J=9.0, 5.2 Hz, 1H), 10.56-10.63 (m, 1 H).
