2-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)acetamide

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A solution of 3-ethoxy-2-((4-methoxybenzyl)oxy)-5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)pyridine (133 mg, 0.345 mmol), 2-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)acetamide (80 mg, 0.345 mmol), Cs2CO3 (225 mg, 0.690 mmol) and PdCl2(dppf) (25.2 mg, 0.034 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (9 mL) and H2O (3 mL) was stirred at 110° C. for 15 min. After LCMS analysis showed the starting material had disappeared, the mixture was dissolved in H2O (20 mL) and extracted by EA (50 mL). The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude material was purified by preparative TLC (PE/EA=3/1) to yield a yellow solid of 2-(4-(5-ethoxy-6-((4-methoxybenzyl)oxy)pyridin-3-yl)-2-fluorophenyl)acetamide (90 mg, 0.219 mmol, 63.6% yield): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) 7.93 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 7.43-7.34 (m, 6H), 6.91-6.89 (m, 2H), 5.35 (s, 2H), 4.16-4.11 (m, 2H), 3.78 (s, 3H), 1.41 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 3H); ES-LCMS m/z 291.1 (M−120). extracted by EA (50 mL) The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 filtered concentrated The crude material was purified by preparative TLC (PE/EA=3/1)

Procedure: To a solution of 2-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)acetic acid (0.1 g, 0.429 mmol) in sulfurous dichloride (5 mL, 0.429 mmol) was added DMF (3.32 μL, 0.043 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at 60° C. After 2 h, TLC analysis (PE/EA=1/1) showed the starting material had disappeared. The solvent was removed in vacuo to give 2-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)acetyl chloride (110 mg, 0.416 mmol, 97% yield). A solution of 2-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)acetyl chloride (110 mg, 0.437 mmol) in THF (5 mL) was added to ammonium hydroxide (10 mL, 257 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at 0° C. After LCMS analysis showed the starting material had disappeared, the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in EA (50 mL) and washed with H2O (10 mL) and brine (10 mL). The organic layer was dried and concentrated to give a white solid of 2-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)acetamide (100 mg, 0.280 mmol, 63.9% yield), which was used into the next step without further purification: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ 7.32-7.30 (m, 2H), 7.24 (t, J=8.2 Hz, 1H), 3.54 (s, 2H); ES-LCMS m/z 232.0 (M+H). the solvent was removed in vacuo The residue was dissolved in EA (50 mL) washed with H2O (10 mL) and brine (10 mL) The organic layer was dried concentrated
