Ammonium Chloride → 2-(2,3-Dihydroxy-propylamino)-4-fluorobenzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2,4-Difluoro-benzonitrile (1.39 g, 10 mmol), 3-amino-propane-1,2-diol (0.911 g, 10 mmol), and ethyl-diisopropyl-amine (1.74 mL) in DMSO (10 mL) was microwaved at 200° C. for 7 min. Then the reaction mixture was poured into a saturated NH4Cl aq. solution (100 mL), extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated. The crude mixture was purified by flash silica gel chromatography (EtOAc-Hexane 1:1) to give 2-(2,3-Dihydroxy-propylamino)-4-fluoro-benzonitrile (0.87 g, 41.4% yield). LCMS (m/z): M+H=211.
