Potassium Carbonate → 6-(2-Fluoro-4-formyl-phenoxy)-nicotinonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

Using a method similar to Example 365, step 1, using 4-hydroxy-3-fluoro-benzaldehyde (3.00 g, 21.4 mmol), 6-chloro-nicotinonitrile (2.98 g, 21.5 mmol), and potassium carbonate (7.40 g, 53.5 mmol) in dimethylacetamide (100 mL) after 6 h at 100° C. provides 3.77 g (73%) of the title compound as a yellow solid (silica gel chromatography conditions: 19:1→1:4 hexanes:ethyl acetate): mass spectrum (electrospray): m/z=243.0 (M+1); 1H NMR (CDCl3): 10.00 (d, 1H, J=2.0 Hz), 8.42 (d, 1H, J=1.5 Hz), 8.01 (dd, 1H, J=2.0, 8.3 Hz), 7.80-7.72 (m, 2H), 7.43 (d, 1H, J=7.3 Hz), 7.19 (d, 1H, J=8.8 Hz).
