1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → 2-Amino-4-fluorobenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To solution of 2-amino-4-fluorobenzoic acid (4.0 g, 25.8 mmol) in degassed DMF (50 mL) were added HOBt (4.19 g, 31 mmol), DIEA (5.4 mL, 31 mmol), EDCI (5.94 g, 31 mmol) and 2N NH3/MeOH (18 mL, 36.1 mmol). The solution was stirred at rt for 48 h, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography to afford 2-amino-4-fluorobenzamide as a solid (2.89 g, 66%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 6.28 (m, 1H), 6.44 (m, 1H), 6.90 (br s, 2H), 7.08 (m, 1H), 7.58 (m, 1H), 7.71 (br d, 1H).
