Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 2-chloro-6-fluoro-3,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid (10.8 g, 0.0077 mol) and triethyl amine (0.934 g, 0.0092 mol) in tert-BuOH (50 mL) was stirred for 5 min. To the resulting reaction mixture, Diphenyl phosphoryl azide (2.53 g, 0.0092 mol) was added and heated up to 82° C. and kept at this temperature for overnight. The reaction mixture was then concentrated in vacuo to obtain a crude residue. The crude residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (20 mL) and cooled to 0° C. TFA (4 mL) was added to the reaction mixture and the resultant reaction mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The solvents were removed under vacuum and the crude residue was diluted with ethyl acetate and saturated sodium carbonate solution. The aqueous layer was separated and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×30 mL). The organic phase was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography using the eluent (gradient hexane to hexane-ether (65:35)) to afford the title compound (0.95 g, yield: 60%) as solid. MS (ESI): 205.7 [M+H]+.
