Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4,5-Difluoroanthranilic acid (4.73 g, 27.3 mmol) and N,N-dibenzylhydrazine (8.69 g, 42 mmol) are combined in 200 mL of methylene chloride. 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDAC) (7.85 g, 41 mmol) is then added to this solution, and the mixture is stirred for 18 hours at 25° C., The solution is washed with saturated NaHCO3, brine, and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solution is concentrated to give 15.8 g of a dark oil and purified via chromatography (SiO2, CHCl3) to give 3.4 g of the title compound as a solid. MS CI: m/z 368 (MH+).
