Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-[(4-chlorophenyl)-methyl]-2-fluoro-6-methoxy-4-morpholin-4-yl-benzamide (1.3 g, 3.44 mmol) in dichloromethane (40 ml) is added neat boron tribromide (0.82 ml, 8.6 mmol) at −78° C. The temperature is raised to room temperature over a period of 2 h. The reaction mixture is poured onto cold water, extracted with dichloromethane (3×50 ml). The combined organic layers are washed with brine (30 ml), dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness. The crude product is purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 5% ethyl acetate/dichloromethane) to yield N-[(4-chlorophenyl)-methyl]-2-fluoro-6-hydroxy-4-morpholin-4-yl-benzamide (0.5 g, 1.3 mmol, 39%).
