1,2-difluoro-3-isothiocyanatobenzene

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

Procedure: The title compound, MS (ISP): m/e=347.3 (M+H+), was prepared as for example 1, steps A to C. Step A was performed using 1,2-difluoro-3-isothiocyanato-benzene and yielded 5-(2,3-difluoro-phenylamino)-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester. This was hydrolized in step B to 5-(2,3-difluoro-phenylamino)-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid, which was reacted with 6-methyl-pyridin-2-ylamine in step C. 1,2-Difluoro-3-isothiocyanato-benzene was prepared as in example 96, starting from 2,3-difluoro-phenylamine.

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

Procedure: Following the general procedure for thiourea formation outlined in example 12, N,N-dimethyl-3-amino-6-chloro-2-hydroxybenzenesulfonamide (500 mg, 2 mmol) and 2,3-difluorophenylisothiocyanate (342 mg, 2 mmol) were coupled to form the desired thiourea (467 mg, 54%). EI-MS m/z 422.2 (M+).

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

Procedure: Into a solution of 2,3-difluoroaniline (1.0 g, 7.74 mmol) in 30 mL of toluene at room temperature, thiophosgene (0.91 mL, 11.6 mmol) and triethylamine (1.3 mL, 11.6 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The combined organic layer was then concentrated to give the desired product (910 mg, 68%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 6.98 (m, 2H), 7.11 (m, 1H). The mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water The combined organic layer was then concentrated
