“…The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (10% EtOAc in hexanes) to yield the title compound as a white solid (0.46 g, 79%); 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ 2.64 (s, 3H), 3.77 (s, 3H), 6.89-7.17 (m, 1H), 7.53 (t, J = 7.7 Hz, 1H), 7.86 (d, J = 7.3 Hz, 1H), 8.46 (d, J = 8.5 Hz, 1H), 11.19 (s, 1H); 13 C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ 29.0, 52.7, 119.6, 121.8, 121.9, 132.1, 135.5, 141.8, 154.8, 202.7 Methyl (2-formyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)carbamate (1c). Following the general procedure starting from (2-amino-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)methanol, 23 the title compound was obtained as a white solid (0.65 g, 65%); 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ 3.84 (s, 3H), 7.31-7.57 (m, 1H), 7.61-8.04 (m, 1H), 8.80 (s, 1H), 9.99 (s, 1H), 10.64 (br s, 1H); 13 C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ 52.7, 115.6 (q, 3 J CF = 4.1 Hz), 118.3 (q, 3 J CF = 4.0 Hz), 122.8 (q, 4 J CF = 1.4 Hz), 122.9 (q, 1 J CF = 236.7 Hz) 136.2 (s), 136.8 (d, 2 J CF = 32.6 Hz), 141. 5, 153.9, 194.4 Methyl (3-chloro-2-formylphenyl)carbamate (1e).…”
