3,5-dichloro-4-phenylmethoxyaniline

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

Conditions: temp:100.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: Cesium carbonate (5.98 g, 19 mmol) was added to a stirring solution of 4-(benzyloxy)-3,5-dichloroaniline (5.27 g [crude from previous step], 19 mmol) in toluene. Rac-BINAP (0.6 g, 7.5 mol %) and methyl 2-bromobenzoate (1.84 ml 13 mmol,) were added. Palladium(II) acetate (0.147 g, 5 mol %) was added and the mixture heated to 100° C. After 12 h the mixture was cooled to room temperature, diluted with ethyl acetate (100 mL), washed with pH 7 buffer solution (50 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (100 mL). The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford a residue that was purified by column chromatography (3:1, petroleum ether/dichloromethane) to afford methyl 2-(4-(benzyloxy)-3,5-dichlorophenylamino)benzoate as a white solid (94% yield). After 12 h the mixture was cooled to room temperature washed with pH 7 buffer solution (50 mL) extracted with ethyl acetate (100 mL) The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4) filtered concentrated in vacuo to afford a residue that was purified by column chromatography (3:1, petroleum ether/dichloromethane)

Conditions: temp:70.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: Tin(II) chloride (22 g, 98 mmol) was added to a stirring solution of 2-(benzyloxy)-1,3-dichloro-5-nitrobenzene (5.8 g, 19 mmol) in ethanol (80 mL), and the resulting suspension was heated to 70° C. After 1 h the mixture was cooled to room temperature and diluted with ethyl acetate (200 mL). The mixture was poured into brine (100 mL) and the resulting emulsion stirred with sodium potassium tartrate solution (200 mL). The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and the combined organic layers dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford 4-(benzyloxy)-3,5-dichloroaniline that was used directly in the next step without purification. After 1 h the mixture was cooled to room temperature The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate the combined organic layers dried (MgSO4) filtered concentrated in vacuo
