Abstract
A novel 1,4-N-->O migration of a disubstituted phenyl ring was observed during N-methylation of a bicalutamide derivative, (2S)-2-(tert-butyldimethylsilanyloxy)-N-(4-cyano-3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-3-(4-fluorophenoxy)-2-methylpropionamide, in the presence of CsF-Celite/acetonitrile and desilylation of (2S)-2-(tert-butyldimethylsilanyloxy)-N-(4-cyano-3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-3-(4-fluorophenoxy)-2,N-dimethylpropionamide in tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride/THF. Both NMR and X-ray analysis confirmed the structure of the 1,4-N-->O disubstituted phenyl ring migrated product.
