2-bromo-1-(5-chloro-2-methoxyphenyl)ethanone

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

Procedure: Combine 2-bromo-1-(5-chloro-2-methoxy-phenyl)-ethanone (12.0 g, 46 mmol) with 5-carbamoyl-pentanoic acid methyl ester (12.7 g, 79.9 mmol) and heat the neat mixture in a sealed vessel at 120-140° C. for about 6 h. Cool the mixture and add methanol and allow the mixture to stir overnight at room temperature. Concentrate the mixture and partition the residue between aq NaHCO3 and EtOAc. Dry the combined extracts over Na2SO4 and concentrate. Chromatography over silica gel (CHCl3) allows for recovery of 5-[4-(5-chloro-2-methoxy-phenyl)-oxazol-2-yl]-pentanoic acid methyl ester (5.5 g, 37%). MS (ES): (M+1)+ 324.1, 326.1 m/z. Cool the mixture Concentrate the mixture partition the residue between aq NaHCO3 and EtOAc Dry the combined extracts over Na2SO4 concentrate

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

Procedure: Dissolve 2-bromo-1-(5-chloro-2-methoxy-phenyl)-ethanone (17.07 g, 64.78 mmol) in 150 mL of CHCl3 and add hexamethylenetetramine (9.09 g, 64.84 mmol) to the reaction mixture. Allow the reaction to stir at ambient temperature for 23 hours. Collect the solids via filtration and wash the solids with Et2O, Slurry the solid in 100 mL of MeOH and add 50 mL of concentrated HCl to it dropwise. Heat the reaction to reflux and allow it to stir for 23 hours. Cool the reaction to ambient temperature and filter off the solids. Slurry the filtrate in MeOH and again collect the solids via filtration. Concentrate the filtrate to afford 10.99 g of 2-amino-1-(5-chloro-2-methoxy-phenyl)-ethanone hydrochloride. the reaction Collect the solids via filtration wash the solids with Et2O add 50 mL of concentrated HCl to it dropwise Heat the reaction to reflux to stir for 23 hours Cool the reaction to ambient temperature filter off the solids Slurry the filtrate in MeOH and again collect the solids via filtration Concentrate the filtrate
