Potassium Fluoride → N-(5-((5-bromo-3-nitropyridin-2-yl)amino)-2',6'-difluoro-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl)acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(5-amino-2′,6′-difluoro-[1,1′-biphenyl]-3-yl)acetamide (1.4 g, 6.1 mmol), 5-bromo-2-chloro-3-nitropyridine (1.6 g, 6.1 mmol, 1.0 eq.) and potassium fluoride (0.53 g, 9.0 mmol, 1.5 eq.) in DMF (8 ml) was heated at 110° C. for 4 h. The mixture was quenched and extracted as in Example 1(d). The solvent was distilled off to afford the crude product which was purified by column chromatography (60-120 silica gel, 30% Ethyl acetate in hexane) to give the title product in 28% yield (0.8 g).
