Water → 2-Cyclopropylmethanesulfonyl-4-(2,6-dichloro-4-nitro-phenoxy)-phenol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(2,6-dichloro-4-nitro-phenoxy)-2-methoxy-(cyclopropyl-methane-sulfonyl)-benzene (160 mg, 0.37 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (3 mL) was added boron tribromide (1M in CH2Cl2, 0.74 mL, 0.74 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h and water (15 mL) was added. After stirring at room temperature for 1 h, the solution was extracted with EtOAc (3×20 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried and concentrated. The residue was purified by preparative TLC (100% CH2Cl2) to afford the title compound of Step D (76 mg). MS (APCl−) Calc.: 417.0. Found: 416.2 (M−1).
