Reaktionsschritte

To a mixture of 2-fluoro-6-methoxyaniline (0.56 g), sodium hydrogen carbonate (0.67 g) and water (2 mL) in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) was added a solution of 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride (1.0 g) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, and the resulting mixture was washed with 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid, water and brine successively, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluent: n-hexane−n-hexane/ethyl acetate=2/3) to give 4-chloro-N-(2-fluoro-6-methoxyphenyl)-3-nitrobenzenesulfonamide (0.56 g). This material was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (15 mL). To the solution were added methyl iodide (0.15 mL) and sodium hydride (55%, 75 mg) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into water, and the resulting mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water and brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluent: n-hexane−n-hexane/ethyl acetate=1/1) to give 4-chloro-N-(2-fluoro-6-methoxyphenyl)-N-methyl-3-nitrobenzenesulfonamide (0.4 g). This material was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (3 mL). To the solution were added methanol (3 mL) and nickel(II) bromide (12 mg). To the mixture was added sodium borohydride (0.12 g) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 30 minutes, and then stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. To the reaction mixture was added a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and the resulting mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water and brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluent: n-hexane−n-hexane/ethyl acetate=1/4) to give the title compound (0.3 g).
