Sodium hydride → N-(4-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-3-{2-[(5-bromo-2-pyrimidinyl)oxy]ethoxy}-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-5-isopropyl-2-pyridinesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-[4-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-3-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl]-5-isopropyl-2-pyridinesulfonamide (Example 43) (18 mg) in anhydrous THF (0.5 ml) at 0° C. and under an atmosphere of nitrogen was added sodium hydride (60% dispersion in oil, 3.3 mg) and the mixture was stirred for 5 minutes. To the mixture was added 5-bromo-2-chloropyrimidine (Liquid Crystals, 1993, 14(3), 741) (11.3 mg) in dimethylacetamide (0.1 ml). After stirring for 90 min, the reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate (3 ml) and saturated ammonium chloride solution (5 ml). The ethyl acetate layer was dried (MgSO4) and blown down under nitrogen to afford a gummy residue. Purification of the residue by column chromatography on silica gel (5 g), eluting in an isocratic fashion with ethyl acetate:hexane (7:4) afforded the title compound as a white solid (6 mg) after freeze drying from t-butanol.
