Stannous chloride dihydrate → Methyl 3-Hydroxy-2-[(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)-(4-chloro-2-aminobenzyl)amino]propionate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.454 g (1 mmol) of methyl 3-hydroxy-2-[(4-methoxy-benzenesulfonyl)-(4-chloro-2-nitrobenzyl)amino]propionate and 0.451 g (2 mmol) of SnCl2.2H2O in 12 ml of methanol was refluxed for 2 hours. An additional 0.451 g (2 mmol) of SnCl2.2H2O was added and the mixture refluxed for 2 hours. The solvent was removed and ethyl acetate added. The mixture was neutralized with 1 N NaHCO3 and then stirred for 1 hour and filtered. The ethyl acetate layer was separated and washed with H2O, brine and dried with Na2SO4. The solvent was removed to give 0.42 g of solid which was chromatographed on thick layer silica gel plates with hexane-ethyl acetate (45:55) as solvent to give 60 mg of product (RF0.66) as a glass, m.p. 99°-112° C. Anal. for C18H21ClN2O6S: Calc'd: C, 50.4; H, 4.9; N, 6.5; Found: C, 49.7; H, 4.9; N, 6.4.
