Pivaloyl chloride → N-[2-(4-Phenylethynylbenzamido)benzenesulfonyl]pivalamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a stream of nitrogen and at 0° C., 0.16 ml (1.31 mmol) of pivaloyl chloride was added to an anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) solution containing 400 mg (1.06 mmol) of 4-phenylethynyl-N-(2-sulfamoylphenyl)benzamide produced in Reference Example 10 and 260 mg (2.12 mmol) of 4-dimethylaminopyridine, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and then the solvent was evaporated under a reduced pressure. The resulting residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate, washed with water, a potassium hydrgensulfate aqueous solution and saturated brine in that order and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then the solvent was evaporated under a reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography to obtain 360 mg (yield: 73.0%) of the title compound.
