Methanol → 3-hydroxy-5-{[(1S)-2-hydroxy-1-methylethyl]oxy}-N-(5-methylpyrazin-2-yl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trimethylsilyl iodide (6.06 mL, 42.75 mmol) was added to a solution of 3-hydroxy-5-{[(1S)-1-methyl-2-(methyloxy)ethyl]oxy}-N-(5-methylpyrazin-2-yl)benzamide (2.71 g, 8.55 mmol) in dry acetonitrile (150 mL) and stirred for 24 hours. Methanol (30 mL) was added to quench the reaction and stirred for 10 minutes. 10% w/v Aqueous sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate (20 mL) was added to the mixture and the organic solvents removed in vacuo. The residue was brought to pH5 with 1M hydrochloric acid and ethyl acetate (80 mL) added. A yellow solid (1.4 g) was separated by filtration. The aqueous filtrate was reextracted into ethyl acetate (2×80 mL) and the combined organic layers dried (MgSO4), filtered and the solvents removed in vacuo. This residue was combined with the yellow solid obtained above and purified by column chromatography, eluting with 5% to 10% methanol in DCM, to give the title compound (1.70 g)
