Hydrochloric Acid → N-[2-Chloro-4-(4-mesylaminophenylsulphanyl)phenyl]-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of lithium hydroxide monohydrate (0.177 g) in water (1.8 ml) was added to a stirred solution of N-{2-chloro-4-[4-(N,N-dimesylamino)phenylsulphanyl]phenyl}-2-acetoxy-2-methylpropanamide (Method 26) (0.45 g) in methanol (3.5 ml) and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 4 hours. Water (3 ml) was added and the solution was acidified to pH 2-3 with 1M hydrochloric acid. DCM (20 ml) was added and the organic layer was washed with water (20 ml) and brine, then dried. Volatile material was removed by evaporation and the residue was purified by flash chromatography eluting with 30-70% ethyl acetate/hexane to give the title compound (0.30 g) as a solid. Mp 138-140° C.; NMR (CDCl3): 1.5 (s, 6H), 3.0 (s, 3H), 7.1-7.4 (m, 7H), 8.4 (d, 1H), 9.3 (s, 1H); MS (ESP−):413; EA: found: C, 48.9; H, 4.4; N, 6.5%; C17H19ClN2O4S2 requires C, 49.2; H, 4.6; N, 6.8%.
