Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 3-amino-5-bromo-4-hydroxybenzoate (2.00 g, 4.06 mmol, 50% purity), 2,2-dimethylpropanoic acid (0.83 g, 8.13 mmol), and solid support triphenylphosphine (75% by weight; 4.26 g, 12.2 mmol) in acetonitrile (20 mL) was added trichloroacetonitrile (815 μL, 8.13 mmol). The mixture was heated in a microwave reactor for 10 min at 150° C. The mixture was cooled to ambient temperature, filtered and concentrated. Purification by silica gel chromatography (100% hexanes→70% hexanes/ethyl acetate) gave the title compound (245 mg). LC-MS [M]=312.1.
