1-Nitropropane → Tert-butyl 2-fluoro-5-(1-nitropropyl)benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To tert-butyl 5-bromo-2-fluorobenzoate (1.26 g) in dimethoxyethane (22.9 ml) solution, tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium (0.10 g), 2-(di-tert-butylphosphino)-2′-methylbiphenyl (0.14 g), tripotassium phosphate (1.07 g), and 1-nitropropane (0.82 ml) were added, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 minute, then the mixture was stirred under heating and reflux for 15 hours. The insoluble compound was filtered out, then the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate, ethyl acetate: 0 to 10%) to obtain the title compound (392 mg).
