Trifluoroacetic acid → N-[5-(3,5-Dicyano-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridin-4-yl)-1H-indazol-3-yl]-2-methoxyethane-sulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 100 mg (0.256 mmol) tert-butyl 3-amino-5-(3,5-dicyano-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridin-4-yl)-1H-indazole-1-carboxylate (Example 3A) in dichloromethane (4 ml) were added 123 mg (0.77 mmol) 2-methoxyethanesulfonyl chloride and 0.11 ml (0.77 mmol) triethylamine. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed with brine. The aqueous layer was re-extracted with ethyl acetate, and the combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (4 ml), and to the solution were added 0.175 ml (2.27 mmol) trifluoroacetic acid. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic layer was separated, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by preparative RP-HPLC (acetonitrile/water gradient) to give 32 mg (30% of th.) of the title compound.
