Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4-bromo-2-fluoroaniline (10.0 g, 52.62 mmol, 1.0 eq), sodium methansulfinate (9.5 g, 1.5 eq), copper(I) iodide (1.0 g, 0.1 eq), L-Proline (1.2 g, 0.2 eq) and sodium hydroxide (0.4 g, 0.2 eq) were placed in a sealed tube, and dimethylsulfoxide (100 mL) was added thereto. The reaction mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 24 hours. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and water was added thereto, followed by extraction three times with ethyl acetate. The extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting compound was purified using column chromatography (MC:MeOH=50:1) to obtain the title compound (9.9 g).
