Reaktionsschritte

Ethanol (0.8 mL, 13.8 mmol) was added drop wise to a stirred suspension of sodium hydride (60% dispersion in oil, 0.550 g, 13.8 mmol) in anhydrous THF (15 mL) at 0° C. and the resulting solution stirred for 0.5 hours. To this solution was added 3-fluoro-4-nitrobenzamide (2.11 g, 11.5 mmol) drop wise in anhydrous THF (15 mL). After complete addition the solution was stirred at 0° C. for 0.5 hours, before being allowed to warm to ambient temperature. The reaction was stirred at ambient temperature for 18 hours, quenched with water (30 mL) and the aqueous layer extracted with DCM (3×50 mL). The organic layers were combined, washed with brine (50 mL), dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The title compound was obtained as a yellow solid (1.694 g, 70% yield) after recrystallisation from MeOH.
