Reaction Steps

A flask, containing 4-fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic acid (8.00 g, 43.2 mmol) and 2-amino-1-phenylethanol (8.89 g, 64.8 mmol) dissolved in EtOH (80 mL), was purged with N2. Anh. N,N-diisopropylethylamine (19 mL, 108 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 24 h. Later the reaction was cooled to rt and concentrated under reduced pressure. The solid residue was dissolved in EtOAc, washed (1 M aq HCl (3×), H2O (2×), brine), dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated to dryness to afford the title compound as a bright yellow solid; 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 12.80 (s, 1H), 8.67 (t, J=5.2 Hz, 1H), 8.61 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 7.92 (ddd, J=0.4 Hz, 2.0 Hz, 9.2 Hz, 1H), 7.46 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 7.36 (t, 7.2 Hz, 2H), 7.28 (tt, J=1.2 Hz, 6.8 Hz, 1H), 7.18 (d, J=9.2 Hz, 1H), 5.89 (d, J=4.4 Hz, 1H), 4.91 (q, J=3.6 Hz, 1H), 3.72-3.63 (m, 1H), 3.53-3.45 (m, 1H). MS (ES+): m/z 285.1 (100) [MH+-18]; HPLC: tR=2.80 min (OpenLynx, polar—5 min).
