2-bromo-1-ethoxy-3-fluorobenzene

Conditions: temp:-78.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A cooled (−78° C.) solution of 2-bromo-1-ethoxy-3-fluorobenzene (3.520 g; 16.10 mmol) in anh. THF (60 ml), under nitrogen, was treated dropwise with a solution of 1.6 M n-BuLi in hexanes (10.05 ml; 16.10 mmol). The resulting solution was further stirred at −78° C. for 5 min. A solution of ethyl 4-((tert-butylsulfinyl)imino)-2-methylbutanoate (2.650 g; 10.70 mmol) in anh. THF (20 ml) was then added dropwise to the cooled reaction mixture, and stirring at −78° C. was continued for 30 min. The resulting reaction mixture was treated successively with aq. sat. NH4Cl (75 ml), Et2O (250 ml) and water (75 ml). The separated organic layer was then washed with brine (75 ml), dried over anh. MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. Purification by FC (DCM/MeOH=30/1) afforded ethyl 4-(1,1-dimethylethylsulfinamido)-4-(2-ethoxy-6-fluorophenyl)-2-methylbutanoate as a yellow oil. LC-MS (conditions A): tR=0.85 min. and [M+H]+: 388.35 g/mol; tR=0.88 min. and [M+H]+: 388.37 g/mol (mixture of diastereoisomers). stirring at −78° C. was continued for 30 min The resulting reaction mixture The separated organic layer was then washed with brine (75 ml) dried over anh. MgSO4 filtered concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure Purification by FC (DCM/MeOH=30/1)

Conditions: temp:80.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A mixture of commercially available 2-bromo-3-fluorophenol (5.000 g; 26.20 mmol), iodoethane (8.166 g; 52.40 mmol), and K2CO3 (4.342 g; 31.40 mmol) in anh. DMF (100 ml) was heated to 80° C., under nitrogen, for 1.5 h. Et2O was added and the organic layer was washed with water, dried over anh. MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure affording 2-bromo-1-ethoxy-3-fluorobenzene as a yellow oil. LC-MS (conditions A): tR=0.88 min.; no ionisation. the organic layer was washed with water dried over anh. MgSO4 filtered concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure
