Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-chloro-N-[5-chloro-2-(acetoxymethyl)phenyl]-N-[(R)-1-methyl-4-hydroxybutyl]benzenesulfonamide (500 mg, 1.09 mmol) in acetonitrile (2 mL) was added triphenylphosphine (571 mg, 2.18 mmol) and carbon tetrabromide (720 mg, 2.18 mmol) at 0° C. The resulting mixture was allowed to stir at 22° C. for 12 h followed by the addition of 25 mL of sat. ammonium chloride. The product was extracted with ether (2×25 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Silica gel chromatography (1:4 ethyl acetate:hexanes) of the concentrate afforded 479 mg of 4-chloro-N-[5-chloro-2-(acetoxymethyl)phenyl]-N-[(R)-1-methyl-4-bromobutyl]benzenesulfonamide as a colorless oil in 84% yield.
