Sodium hydride → N-[3-{2-[(5-bromo-2-pyrimidinyl)oxy]ethoxy}-1-methyl-4-(4-methylphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl]-4-(tert-butyl)benzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 4-(tert-butyl)-N-[3-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-1-methyl-4-(4-methylphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl]benzenesulfonamide (Example 2) (25 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (2 ml) at room temperature under an atmosphere of nitrogen was added sodium hydride (60% dispersion in oil, 4.5 mg) and the mixture was stirred for 5 minutes. To the mixture was added 5-bromo-2-chloropyrimidine (Liquid Crystals, 1993, 14(3), 741) (12 mg) and the reaction was stirred for 30 minutes after which dimethyl acetamide (0.5 ml) was added to give a homogenous mixture. After further stirring for 3 hrs the reaction was diluted with water (20 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (20 ml). The organic fraction was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica (10 g) eluted with dichloromethane:ether (1:1) to yield the title compound as a white solid (12 mg).
