Potassium Fluoride → 4-isopropyl-6-methoxy-2-[1-(5-chloro-2-pyridyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)pyrazol-5-yl-oxymethyl]-1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(5-chloro-2-pyridyl)-3-trifluoromethyl-5-hydroxypyrazole (527 mg; 2 mmol) and KF (232 mg; 4 mmol) in 4 ml of DMF was stirred under nitrogen at room temperature for 20 minutes and then 2-bromomethyl-4-isopropyl-6-methoxy-1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide (609 mg, 1.75 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, filtered, and the solid residue was washed with water. The white solid was dissolved in methylene chloride, dried over magnesium sulfate, partially concentrated in vacuo, and the resulting residue was crystallized from ethyl acetate. The combined solid was dried in vacuo to afford 736 mg (79%) of 4-isopropyl-6-methoxy-2-[1-(5-chloro-2-pyridyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)pyrazol-5-yl-oxymethyl]-1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide (Formula I: R1 =5-chloro-2-pyridyl; R2 =CF3 ; R3 =H; R4 =CH(CH3)2 ; R5 =6-OCH3) as a white solid, m.p. 173°-174° C.
