Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

N-Iodosuccinimide (0.84 g) was added to a solution of N-(isobutoxycarbonyl)-N-(3-methoxy-5-methylpyrazin-2-yl)-2-(4-trimethylsilylphenyl)pyridine-3-sulphonamide (1.58 g) in acetonitrile (15 ml) and the reaction mixture was stirred and heated at 65° C. for 17 hours. A further portion of N-iodosuccinimide (50 mg) was added and heating continued for 24 hours, then more N-iodosuccinimide (100 mg) was added and heating continued a further 24 hours. The mixture was cooled and volatile material was removed by evaporation. The residue was purified by chromatography on a silica gel Mega Bond Elut column, eluting with 0-25% ethyl acetate/hexane, followed by trituration with hexane (2×25 ml) to give 2-(4-iodophenyl)-N-isobutoxycarbonyl-N-(3-methoxy-5-methylpyrazin-2-yl)pyridine-3-sulphonamide as a solid, m.p. 156-158° C.; 1H NMR (CDCl3): 0.7 (d, 6H), 1.7 (m, 1H), 2.5 (s, 3H), 3.8 (d, 2H), 4.0 (s, 3H), 7.4 (d, 2H), 7.5 (dd, 1H), 7.7 (d, 2H), 7.9 (s, 1H), 8.8 (dd, 1H), 8.9 (dd, 1H); mass spectrum (+ve ESP): 583 (M+H)+.
