Dimethyl Sulfoxide → 2-(3,4-dichloro-phenyl)-N-[2-(3-methoxy-4-pent-2-ynyloxy-phenyl)-ethyl]-2-oxo-acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.8 ml oxalyl chloride (9.0 mmol) in 8 ml methylenchloride at −63° C is added in 15 minutes a solution of 0.84 ml DMSO (12.0 mmol) in 4 ml CH2Cl2. A solution of 2.6 g (6.0 mmol) of 2-(3,4-dichloro-phenyl)-2-hydroxy-N-[2-(3-methoxy-4-pent-2-ynyloxy-phenyl)-ethyl]-acetamide in 30 ml CH2Cl2 is added in 10 minutes. After 10 minutes at −65° C. a solution of 3.2 ml (24.0 mmol) triethylamine in 8 ml CH2Cl2 is added in 15 minutes. After 15 more minutes at that temperature the mixture is hydrolysed with 6.0 ml water and warmed up to +20° C. The solution is washed with solutions of KHSO4 (20%), saturated NaHCO3 and saturated NaCl. After evaporation the residue is submitted to flash-chromatography (ethyl acetate 25, hexanes 75) to give 2.0 g (77%) of the 2-(3,4-dichloro-phenyl)-N-[2-(3-methoxy-4-pent-2-ynyloxy-phenyl)-ethyl]-2-oxo-acetamide. 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): 1.15 (t, 3 H, CH2CH3), 2.22 (m, 2 H, CH2CH3), 2.87 (t, 2 H, CH2CH2), 3.64 (t, 2 H, CH2CH2), 3.88 (s, 3 H, OCH3), 4.72 (m, 2 H, OCH2), 6.77 (m, 2 H, CH arom.), 6.99 (d, 1 H, CH arom.), 7.16 (t, 1 H, NH), 7.57 (d, 8.22, m) and 8.49 (m, 3 H, CH arom.).
