Reaction Steps

[following a procedure of Belostotskii, Anatoly M.; Hassner, Alfred. Synthetic methods. 41. Etherification of hydroxysteroids via triflates. Tetrahedron Lett. (1994), 35(28), 5075-6.]. A solution of 0.175 ml (2 mmol) 3-bromo-1-propanol and 0.48 ml 2,6-di-tert-butylpyridine in 1 ml CH2Cl2 was treated at 0° C. with a solution of 0.35 ml (2.1 mmol) trifluoromethansulfonic anhydride in 0.5 ml CH2Cl2. After 2.5 h at 0° C., the violet solution was evaporated, dissolved in 1 ml nitromethane and treated with a solution of 0.375 g (1 mmol) trans-N-(4-Hydroxymethyl-cyclohexyl)-N-methyl-4-trifluoromethyl-benzenesulfonamide and 0.45 ml (2 mmol) 2,6-di-tert-butylpyridine in 3 ml nitromethane (during 3 min). The reaction was heated (60° C.) for 3.5 h and then extracted with aqueous 10% KHSO4/EtOAc (3×). The organic phases were washed with aqueous saturated NaHCO3, aqueous 10% NaCl, dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated. Purification by flash-chromatography on silica gel (hexane/EtOAc 9:1) yielded 0.3 g (64%) of trans-N-[4-(3-Bromo-propoxymethyl)-cyclohexyl]-N-methyl-4-trifluoromethyl-benzenesulfonamide, MS: 452 (M−F, 1Br).
