Diisopropylethylamine → N-(2-fluoro-5-methoxy-4-((6-methoxypyridin-3-yl)methoxy)benzyl)-4-iodo-2-nitroaniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (2-fluoro-5-methoxy-4-((6-methoxypyridin-3-yl)methoxy)phenyl)methanamine (0.89 g, 3.04 mmol) in acetonitrile (15 mL) was added 1-fluoro-4-iodo-2-nitrobenzene (0.89 g, 3.35 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine. The resulting yellow solution was heated to reflux. After 16 h, the mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and was diluted with water. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×25 mL). The combined organic phases were washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. Chromatographic purification (Combi-Flash, 40 g SiO2 column, 0-33% ethyl acetate/hexanes elute) afforded 0.38 g (23%) of N-(2-fluoro-5-methoxy-4-((6-methoxypyridin-3-yl)methoxy)benzyl)-4-iodo-2-nitroaniline as a solid.
