The reaction mixture was then poured into ice-water and stirred in an ice bath. The resulting solid was then removed by suction filtration, dissolved in ten cm3 CH2Cl2:CH3OH (60:40 by vol), and purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel using CH2Cl2:CH3OH (50:50 by vol) as eluent.1-Hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole manufacturer The pure fractions had been evaporated in vacuo to obtain pure four.1-Bromo-2,3-dichloro-5-fluorobenzene Formula Yield: ten mg (47 ); m.PMID:22664133 p.: 273 (dec); 1H NMR ((CD3)2SO): = 1.ten (6H, t, J = 7.three Hz), 1.75 (4H, m), 1.80 (6H, s), 2.07 (6H, s), 2.36 (4H, t, J = 7.0 Hz), two.51 (4H, q, J = 7.3 Hz), two.79 (4H, t, J = 7.0 Hz), 5.96 (2H, s), 6.90 (2H, s), ten.16 (2H, s), ten.29 (2H, s), 12.04 (2H, brs) ppm; UV-Vis information in Table 5.

To this solution was added 32 mg DDQ (0.130 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 20 min, then quenched with 75 cm3 water containing 100 mg ascorbic acid, and extracted with 50 cm3 CH2Cl2. The CH2Cl2 extract was washed with 20 cm3 aq. 10 NaHCO3, water (three ?20 cm3), and dried more than anhydrous Na2SO4. The CH2Cl2 was removed (rotovap), as well as the remaining solid was purified making use of radial chromatography (CH2Cl2:CH3OH, 97:three by vol), resulting in 5e as a violet strong.
