Tert-Butylamine → HCID 58614785, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

67 mL of 2-chloro-1,4-dimethylbenzene and 356 g of Potassium Permanganate were refluxed in 1.5 L of H2O for several hours and monitored for disappearance of starting material by TLC. The Potassium Permanganate was filtered and the reaction mixture was acidified and filtered to yield 2-chloroterephthalic acid. 46.8 g of 2-chloroterephthalic acid was treated with a saturated HCl gas solution in MeOH overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated, subjected to basic workup and dried to yield the dimethyl 2-chloroterephthalate. 20 g of dimethyl 2-chloroterephthalate was cooled to 0° C. in DCM and 87 mL of a 1M in DCM solution of BBr3 was added dropwise over several hours. The reaction mixture was subsequently warmed to room temperature and stirred until complete. Following basic workup, 2-chloro-4-(methoxycarbonyl)benzoic acid was purified by ISCO Combi-Flash. 959 mg of 2-chloro-4-(methoxycarbonyl)benzoic acid was coupled to 750 mg of 4-chloro-3-(pyridin-2-yl)aniline via procedure G. 1 g of methyl 3-chloro-4-(4-chloro-3-(pyridin-2-yl)phenylcarbamoyl)benzoate was hydrolyzed via Procedure M to give 3-chloro-4-(4-chloro-3-(pyridin-2-yl)phenylcarbamoyl)benzoic acid. 50 mg of 3-chloro-4-(4-chloro-3-(pyridin-2-yl)phenylcarbamoyl)benzoic acid was coupled to tert-butylamine via Procedure G. The product was purified on reverse phase HPLC to yield N4-tert-butyl-2-chloro-N1-(4-chloro-3-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl)terephthalamide. MS (Q1) 443.2 (M)+.
