This compound has been obtained by two different ways: 1) The oxidation of 4'-amino-3'-chloroacetophenone (I) with NaNO2 and HCl in water gives 3'-chloro-4-nitroacetophenone (II), which is condensed with 2,4-difluorophenol (III) by means of K2CO3 in xylene yielding 3'-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-4'-nitroacetophenone (IV). The reduction of (IV) with Fe and NH4Cl in ethanol affords the corresponding 4'-amino compound (V), which is finally treated with methanesulfonyl chloride and pyridine. 2) The reaction of 4'-aminoacetophenone (VI) with methanesulfonyl chloride as before gives the corresponding sulfonamide (VII), which is brominated with Br2 in acetic acid yielding N-(4-acetyl-3-bromophenyl)methanesulfonamide (VIII). Finally, this compound is condensed with 2,4-difluorophenol (III) by means of K2CO3 and CuCl as before.
