methyl 4-bromo-2-(difluoromethoxy)benzoate

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:

Conditions: temp:60.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To a 70 ml dimethylformamide solution of 5.0 g (21.7 mmol) of methyl 4-bromo-2-hydroxybenzoate, 3.4 ml (32.6 mmol) of methyl chlorodifluoroacetate and 3.0 g (21.7 mmol) of potassium carbonate were added. The mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 6 hours and at room temperature for 60 hours. Then, water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ether. The organic layer was washed with water and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride. The washed system was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=8/1) to obtain 1.4 g (23%) of the captioned compound. the mixture was extracted with ether The organic layer was washed with water The washed system was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=8/1)
