Sulfuric Acid → HCID 15007755, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2.81 g (10 millimoles) of 2-amino-2-(2-fluoro-4-n-nonylphenyl)ethanol, 1.77 g (10 millimoles) of 2,6-difluorobenzoic acid and 20 ml of toluene, 3 g (30 millimoles) of concentrated sulfuric acid was added and refluxed for 7 hours with stirring. After cooling again to room temperature, the reaction mixture was washed successively with 30 ml of a 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and then 30 ml of a saturated sodium chloride solution, desiccated over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. This concentrate was purified by silica-gel column chromatography using a 8/2 solvent mixture of n-hexane/ethyl acetate to obtain 2-(2,6-difluorophenyl)-4-(2-fluoro-4-n-nonylphenyl)-2-oxazoline (Compound Number 42).
