Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of trifluoro-methanesulfonic acid 4-chloro-5-methoxy-2-nitro-phenyl ester (1.0 g) in tetrahydrofuran (2.0 mL) is added dimethylamine (4.0 mL of a 40% aqueous solution) and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for approximately 15 hours. The solution is then concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue is dissolved in ethyl acetate and then washed with water. The aqueous layer is extracted once with ethyl acetate and the combined organic layers are washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent is removed by evaporation under reduced pressure and the residue is triturated with hexanes to provide the desired product as a colorless solid.
