Potassium Carbonate → ethyl 6-chloro-7-{[isopropyl(methyl)amino]methyl}-2-(trifluoromethyl)-2H-chromene-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The ethyl 7-(bromomethyl)-6-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)-2H-chromene-3-carboxylate from Example 16, Step 3 (01597/1 PR) (1.0 g, 2.5 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (5 mL). The solution was cooled at ice bath under nitrogen and the isopropyl(methyl)-amine (0.26 mL, 2.5 mmole) was added into the solution followed by addition of potassium carbonate (0.345 g, 2.5 mmol). After the mixture was stirred at r.t for 3 hr, LCMS indicated that the product was formed. The reaction was quenched with water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried over MgSO4 and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated to afford the crude product. The ester was of suitable purity to use without further purification.
