Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-fluoro-3-iodo-5-nitrobenzene (1.145 g, 4.29 mmol), sodium acetate (0.430 g, 5.24 mmol), palladium(II) acetate (1.7 mg, 0.0076 mmol), methyl acrylate (0.425 mL, 4.71 mmol), and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (11 mL) under argon was degassed with three freeze/pump/thaw cycles. The reaction mixture was heated to 130° C. for 35 min and then at 100° C. for 14 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and extracted three times with diethyl ether. The combined organic extracts were washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, hydrochloric acid (1 N), and brine, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was suspended in a mixture of ethanol (12 mL), water (2.5 mL), and acetic acid (1.25 mmol) and heated to reflux. Iron powder (0.519 g, 9.28 mmol) was added portionwise over 30 min, and reflux was continued for an additional 30 min. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and sodium bicarbonate solution and filtered through a glass fibre filter to remove a fine grey precipitate. The aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×) and the organic phase was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 19A (0.328 g, 74%) as a pale yellow solid. LC-MS m/z: 196.2 (M+H)+.
