Methyl chloroformate → HCID 4928092, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-fluoro-5-nitroaniline (500 mg, 3.20 mmol) in THF (20 mL) was treated with DIEA (0.84 mL, 4.8 mmol) followed by methyl chloroformate (0.25 mL, 3.20 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight and concentrated to dryness. The crude product was dissolved in a small amount of DCM and purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, 20% ethyl acetate/hexanes to 50% ethyl acetate/hexanes, 40 g column, 30 min. gradient) to afford Intermediate 59A (450 mg, 65.6%). HPLC: Rt=2.868 min. (YMC S5 ODS 4.6×50 mm, 10-90% aqueous methanol containing 0.2% H3PO4, 4 min. gradient, monitored at 220 nm). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 9.94 (1H, s), 8.72 (1H, dd, J=6.80, 2.77 Hz), 7.87-8.09 (1H, m), 7.52 (1H, t), 3.72 (3H, s).
