Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetic acid (1.00 g, TCI) in DMF (15 ml) was added with WSC HCl (1.28 g, KOKUSAN), HOBT (794 mg, KOKUSAN), and DIEA (1.02 ml, ALD), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was added with a solution of N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride (956 mg, WAKO) in DMF (5 ml) added with DIEA (1.74 ml) and stirred for 20 minutes at room temperature beforehand, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was added with ethyl acetate (150 ml), successively washed with 1 N aqueous hydrochloric acid, purified water, saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate, and saturated brine and dried, and then the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound (Intermediate pa-01, 893 mg).
