4-Amino-3-fluorophenol → HCID 67253219, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Potassium tert-butoxide (5 g, 23.47 mmol, 1.4 eq) was dissolved in N,N-dimethylacetylamide (DMA, 12 mL). A solution of 3-fluoro-4-aminophenol (4.2 g, 32.86 mmol, 1.4 eq) in DMA (15 mL) was slowly added dropwise at 0° C. After the addition, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. The mixture was heated to 100° C. and a solution of tert-butyl 4-chloropicolinate in DMA (18 mL) was slowly added dropwise, and then the mixture was stirred for 1 h. After being cooled to room temperature, ethyl acetate (500 mL) was added, and the resulted mixture was filtered to remove the undissolved material. The filtrate was washed with saturated brine (200 mL×3), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give a brown solid. The crude was purified by column chromatography (petroleum ether: ethyl acetate=3:1) to give the title compound (1.38 g, purity 98%, yield 20%) as a light brown solid.
