Triethylamine → 2-Chloro-4-fluoro-N-(1-hydroxy-3,3-dimethyl-1,3-dihydro-benzo[c][1,2]oxaborol-6-yl)-benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3,3-dimethyl-6-nitro-3H-benzo[c][1.2]oxaborol-1-ol (500 mg, 2.4 mmol) in THF (60 mL) was pass through H-Cube equipped with a 10% Pd/C Catcart (30×4 mm). The flow rate was set at 1.0 mL/min and TLC indicated complete consumption of starting material after one run. To the obtained light yellow solution was added Et3N (1.1 mL, 7.7 mmol, 3.2 equiv.), followed by drop wise addition of 2-cloro-4-fluoro-benzoyl chloride (0.51 mL, 3.8 mmol, 1.6 equiv.). The mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature over 18 h before poured into a 1:1 mixture of EtOAc/HCl (1 N). The layers were separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc (3×). Combined organics was washed with H2O, brine and concentrated under reduced pressure to give a white solid. The solid was dissolved in minimal amount of THF and treated with heptanes. The precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with heptanes to give the title compound as a white solid. LCMS (M/Z): 334 (M+H); 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ: 10.49 (s, 1H), 9.06 (s, 1H), 8.01 (d, J=1.7 Hz, 1H), 7.60-7.65 (m, 2H), 7.55 (dd, J=9.0, 2.5 Hz, 1H), 7.28-7.37 (m, 2H), 1.40 (s, 6H). Amount obtained: 726 mg, (91.2% yield).
