Participants

Reaction Steps

[2-({4-[(E)-2-(4-Fluorophenyl)vinyl]phenyl}sulfonyl)benzyl]amine hydrochloride (Example 178, 120 mg, 0.3 mmol) was added to a rapidly stirred mixture of methanesulfonyl chloride (50 μL, 0.6 mmol) in 1M sodium hydroxide (3 mL) and dichloromethane (3 mL). After 30 minutes, further methanesulfonyl chloride (100 μL, 1.2 mmol) and 4M sodium hydroxide (1 mL) were added and the reaction stirred for 30 minutes. The layers were separated and the organic layer washed with 1N HCl, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica, eluting with 60% ethyl acetate/isohexane to give the title compound as a white solid (30 mg, 22%). δH (500 MHz, d6 DMSO): 8.10 (1H, d, J=7.9 Hz), 7.90 (2H, d, J=8.4 Hz), 7.80 (2H, d, J=8.4 Hz), 7.75–7.67 (4H, m), 7.59 (1H, t, J=7.3 Hz), 7.55 (1H, s), 7.44 (1H, d, J=16.4 Hz), 7.29 (1H, d, J=16.5 Hz), 7.22 (2H, t, J=8.8 Hz), 4.44 (2H, s), 2.89 (3H, s).
