Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of the chloromethylthioacetate in MeCN (100 mL) was added 2-nitroimidazole (3 g), NaI (1 g) and diisopropylethyl amine (DIEA) and refluxed. A precipitate formed after 3 h. Additional DIEA (3 mL) was added to the reaction mixture and refluxed for 4 h. Volatiles were removed, EtOAc (300 mL) added to the residue, and the ensuing mixture filtered. The filtrate was washed with water, 1M aqueous citric acid, brine, and concentrated to yield a residue. The residue was separated by column chromatography using 0-90% EtOAc/Hexane as eluent to yield 1-thioacetylmethyl-2-nitroimidazole (vi, 3.15 g) that was chlorinated as described above in Example 1A to yield compound vii.
