Pyridine → HCID 6468856, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 2,4-difluoro-phenylamine (30, 2.0 g, 15.5 mmol) in 20 mL of dichloromethane, pyridine (1.326 mL, 16.4 mmol) and dimethylaminopyridine (0.076 g, 0.62 mmol) are added followed by the dropwise addition of 4-ethyl-benzenesulfonyl chloride (59, 3.357 g, 16.4 mmol) and the reaction is heated to reflux overnight. The reaction is concentrated under vacuum to dryness, then brought up in ethyl acetate and water for extraction. The organic layer is isolated and concentrated under vacuum. The resulting material is purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with a gradient of 10-20% ethyl acetate in hexane. Appropriate fractions are combined and concentrated under vacuum to provide the desired compound (60, 4.344 g).
