2,2,3,3,3-Pentafluoropropanol → HCID 87426740, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of sodium hydride (3.9 g, 96 mmol, 60% in oil) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (160 mL) is added dropwise 2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropan-1-ol (6.4 mL, 64 mmol) at 0° C. After stirring for 10 minutes, a solution of methyl 6-chloronicotinate (5.5 g, 32 mmol) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (10 mL) is added dropwise at 0° C., and the mixture is stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature. Then, the mixture is stirred at 90° C. for 2 hours. After cooled to room temperature, 2M aqueous sodium hydroxide is added (pH is around 6). The mixture is extracted with n-hexane/ethyl acetate (1:2, 200 mL). The organic layer is washed with water, brine, and dried over sodium sulfate. The organic solvent is concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue is purified by column chromatography on amine gel eluting with n-hexane/ethyl acetate (30:1) to give 3.1 g (34% yield) of the title compound as brown oil. MS (ESI) m/z: 286 (M+H)+.
