Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-chloro-2-fluoro-3-(pivalamidomethyl)benzoic acid (step-5 of Intermediate-51, 1.0 g, 3.48 mmol) in conc. sulphuric acid (10.0 mL) was added sodium azide (0.271 g, 4.18 mmol). The reaction mass was stirred at 50-60° C. for 18 h. The reaction mass was quenched in ammonia solution (cold) and solid obtained was filtered and suck dried to afford 0.570 g of the product. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO d6): δ 1.11 (s, 9H), 4.21 (d, J=5.7 Hz, 2H), 5.30 (s, 2H), 6.39 (t, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 7.00 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.98 (m, 1H); MS (m/z): 259.12 (M+H+).
