4-fluoro-2-hydroxy-6-methoxybenzaldehyde

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

Procedure: To a solution of a mixture of 4-fluoro-2-hydroxy-6-methoxybenzaldehyde and 2-fluoro-6-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (Example 36A, 4.63 g, 27.2 mmol) in acetonitrile (49.7 mL, 952 mmol) was added potassium iodide (0.903 g, 5.44 mmol), cesium carbonate (9.75 g, 29.9 mmol) and 1-chloropropan-2-one (2.395 mL, 28.6 mmol). The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 2 h, was treated with 0.1 eq of cesium carbonate and heated to 60° C. for 1 h and 80° C. for another hour. The reaction was left overnight at r.t., then filtered over a small pad of silica and rinsed with ethyl acetate (approx 500 mL). The residue obtained after concentration was purified by silica gel chromatography (ISCO, 120 g of silica with 100% toluene using UV at 315 nm, then polarity was increased over time up to 10% ethyl acetate). The fractions were evaporated to give a 7:1 mixture of the desired/undesired isomers which was recrystallized overnight with ethyl acetate. The title material was obtained (216 mgs, 3.8%) as colorless crystals. LC (Method B): 1.928 min. LCMS (APCI) calcd for C11H10FO3 [M+H]+ m/z 209.06, found 209.1. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ ppm: 7.55-7.61 (m, 1H), 6.78-6.99 (m, 1H), 6.46-6.53 (m, 1H), 3.96 (s, 3H), 2.55-2.60 (m, 3H). heated to 60° C. for 1 h and 80° C. for another hour The reaction was left overnight at r.t. filtered over a small pad of silica rinsed with ethyl acetate (approx 500 mL) The residue obtained after concentration was purified by silica gel chromatography (ISCO, 120 g of silica with 100% toluene using UV at 315 nm polarity was increased over time up to 10% ethyl acetate) The fractions were evaporated to give a 7:1 mixture of the desired/undesired isomers which was recrystallized overnight with ethyl acetate
