Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution was of 2-(bromomethyl)-4-fluoro-1-nitrobenzene (1.3 g, 5.56 mmol) at 0° C. was added tetrabutylammonium iodide (2.05 g, 5.56 mmol). The solution was stirred at 0° C. for 1.5 hours. In a separate flask, methyl 2-({[4-(2-butynyloxy)phenyl]sulfonyl}amino)-3-hydroxypropanoate (1.73 g, 5.05 mmol) was dissolved in dimethylformamide and cooled to 0° C. Sodium hydride (0.21 g, 5.56 mmol, 60% dispersion in oil) was added and the reaction was allowed to stir at 0° C. for 0.5 hours at which time the solution of the bromide was added. The reaction was stirred overnight and then quenched with water. The mixture was extracted twice with ethyl acetate, washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, concentrated in vacuo and chromatographed using 1.5:1 hexane:ethyl acetate as eluant to provide 1.88 g (77%) of the desired product as a white solid. mp 83-88° C. Anal Calc'd for C21H21N2O8FS: C, 52.50; H, 4.41; N, 5.83. Found: C, 52.44; H, 4.76; N, 5.56.
