Tetrahydrofuran → 2-Bromo-N-(2-hydroxy-5-nitro-phenyl)-2-methyl-propionamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Amino-4-nitro-phenol (3.08 g, Aldrich) was stirred with THF (30 ml, Aldrich) in an ice bath. 2-Bromo-2-methyl-propionyl bromide (2.47 ml, Aldrich) and Et3N (2.0 g, Aldrich) was slowly added via syringe. The mixture was stirred for 45 min then poured into ice. The aqueous phase was extracted by EtOAc (50 mL×4). The organic layer was dried and concentrated. The desired compound was crystallized from EtOAc (Chem. Pharm. Bull 1996, 44(1) 103-114).
