Reaction Steps

4-bromobenzene-1,2-diamine (1.75 g, 9.39 mmol) and 2-fluoro-4-(methylsulfonyl)benzoic acid (2 g, 9.39 mmol) were dissolved in polyphosphoric acid (70 g). This mixture was heated at 195° C. for three and half hours. Reaction mixture cooled to rt and diluted with ice water (100 ml). Aqueous layer basified with sodium hydroxide pellets to pH 9. Work up (EtOAc/H2O) followed by removal of EtOAc afforded the crude. Crude was purified on combiflash with a gradient mixture of EtOAc and Petether (33:67) to obtain the titled compound (1.5 g) as an off-white solid.
