1-Chloro-4-isocyanato-2-(trifluoromethyl) benzene → Regorafenib

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(4-amino-3-fluorophenoxy)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methylamide (177 mg, 0.68 mmol) in toluene (3 mL) was added 4-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl isocyanate (150 mg, 0.68 mmol). The mixture was stirred at rt for 72 h. The reaction was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was triturated with diethylether. The resulting solid was collected by filtration and dried in vacuo for 4 h to afford the title compound (155 mg, 0.32 mmol; 47% yield); 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6) 2.78 (d, J=4.9, 3H), 7.03-7.08 (m, 1H), 7.16 (dd, J=2.6, 5.6, 1H), 7.32 (dd, J=2.7, 11.6, 1H), 7.39 (d, J=2.5, 1H), 7.60 (s, 2H), 8.07-8.18 (m, 2H), 8.50 (d, J=5.7, 1H), 8.72 (s, 1H), 8.74-8.80 (m, 1H), 9.50 (s, 1H); MS (HPLC/ES) 483.06 m/z=(M+1).
