4-[5-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)pentyl]phenylamine → 2-{4-[5-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)-pentyl]phenylamino}4-methoxy-5-nitrobenzoic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared from 4-[5-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)pentyl]phenylamine (231 mg, 0.75 mmol), LHDMS (6.28 mL, 1 M in THF, 6.28 mmol) and 2-fluoro-4-methoxy-5-nitrobenzoic acid methyl ester (172 g, 0.75 mmol) in THF (5 mL) using the procedure described in Example 13. Purification by flash chromatography (silica gel, 10% EtOAc/hexane) yielded 145 mg (0.28 mmol, 37%) of the desired product
