Dimethylformamide → HCID 86644704, compound

2-Chloro-3-(1-cyano-1-methylethyl)benzoic acid (3.0 g, 13.4 mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (67 mL), and oxalyl chloride (1.35 mL, 15.8 mmol) and N,N-dimethylformamide (20 μL) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give 2-chloro-3-(1-cyano-1-methylethyl)benzoyl chloride. To a solution of 3-amino-4-fluorophenol (1.62 g, 12.8 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (20 ml) was added a suspension of sodium hydrogen carbonate (3.22 g, 38.3 mmol) in water (40 mL), and the mixture was vigorously stirred at room temperature. To this mixture was added dropwise at 0° C. a solution of 2-chloro-3-(1-cyano-1-methylethyl)benzoyl chloride produced above in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hr. To the reaction mixture was added ethyl acetate (100 mL), and the aqueous layer was separated. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine (150 mL), and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Insoluble material was filtered off, and the filtrate was purified by basic silica gel column chromatography (eluate: ethyl acetate). The obtained solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the obtained residue was crystallized from ethyl acetate/n-hexane to give the title compound (4.13 g, 97%) as a white powder.
