Potassium Carbonate → {4-[4-(4-Bromo-phenylcarbamoyl)-2-nitro-phenoxy]phenyl}-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of the product of Example 10A (5.132 g, 14.45 mmol) in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (50 mL) was treated with N-Boc-4-hydroxyaniline (3.024 g, 14.45 mmol) and potassium carbonate (3.994 g, 28.90 mmol) at room temperature, then heated at 80° under a nitrogen atmosphere for 4.5 hours. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and the solvent removed by rotary evaporation in vacuo. The residue was taken up in ethyl acetate (200 mL) and washed with water (4×50 mL) and brine (50 mL). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated by rotary evaporation to give the product as a dark yellow solid (7.38 g, 13.97 mmol, 97%).
