tert-Butanol → Tert-butyl 6-amino-3-bromo-2-hydroxybenzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (4.14 g) was added to a stirred solution of 6-amino-3-bromo-2-hydroxybenzoic acid (Intermediate 63, 3.88 g) and DMAP (0.102 g) in tert-butanol (20 mL) and THF (150 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The resultant white precipitate was filtered off and washed with ethyl acetate. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified by chromatography on silica, eluting with a mixture of ethyl acetate and cyclohexane, with a gradient of 2.5-15% to give tert-butyl 6-amino-3-bromo-2-hydroxybenzoate (1.16 g) as a yellow solid.
