Phosphate → N-Cyclohexyl-3-(hydroxymethyl)-N-{[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl}benzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-cyclohexyl-3-(hydroxymethyl)benzenesulfonamide (1.744 g) in DMF (30 ml) under nitrogen was treated with sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 311 mg) and the mixture stirred at 20° for 0.5 h. 2-(Trimethylsilyl)ethoxymethyl chloride (1.15 ml) was added and the mixture was stirred for a further 2 h at 20°. Phosphate buffer solution (pH 6.5, 50 ml) and water (50 ml) were added and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc (2×50 ml). The combined extracts were washed with water (2×100 ml) and dried (Na2SO4). Solvent evaporation in vacuo gave a residue which was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel. Elution with EtOAc-PE (3:7) gave the title compound (1.917 g). LCMS RT=3.83 min, ES+ve 417 (MNH4)+.
