4-tert-butyl-N-{5-(4-methylphenyl)-6-[2-(4-nitrophenoxy)ethoxy]pyrimidin-4-yl}benzenesulfonamide → N-{6-[2-(4-aminophenoxy)ethoxy]-5-(4-methylphenyl)pyrimidin-4-yl}-4-tert-butylbenzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-tert-butyl-N-{5-(4-methylphenyl)-6-[2-(4-nitrophenoxy)ethoxy]pyrimidin-4-yl}benzenesulfonamide (383 mg), 10% palladium-carbon (50 mg) and ethanol-tetrahydrofuran (6 ml-3 ml) is subjected to catalytic hydrogenation at room temperature under hydrogen atmosphere (1 atm) for two hours. The catalyst is removed by filtration, and the filtrate is concentrated. The residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (solvent; chloroform/ethyl acetate=10:1), and recrystallized from ethyl acetate/diisopropyl ether to give N-{6-[2-(4-aminophenoxy)ethoxy]-5-(4-methylphenyl)pyrimidin-4-yl}-4-tert-butylbenzenesulfonamide (358 mg).
