Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2′-fluoro-5′-methoxy-2-neopentyl-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-amine (970 mg) in THF (34 mL) were added triethylamine (706 μL) and o-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride (823 mg) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hr. Triethylamine (706 μL) and o-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride (374 mg) were further added at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 hr. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (1.31 g) as a yellow gummy substance.
