Sodium hydride → 6-Bromo-1-(4-dimethylsulfamoyl-benzyl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-indole-3,3-dicarboxylic acid di-tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

6-Bromo-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-indole-3,3-dicarboxylic acid di-tert-butyl ester (5.10 g, 12.4 mmol) was dissolved in 40 ml of anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) under an atmosphere of dry N2. The solution was cooled to 0° C. after which time 60% sodium hydride in oil (500 mg, 12.4 mmol) was added and the solution was then stirred for 15 minutes at this temperature. The reaction mixture was the warmed to ambient temperature and stirred for 15 minutes after which time 4-bromomethyl-N,N-dimethyl-benzenesulfonamide (3.44 g, 12.4 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred overnight after which time it was concentrated under vacuum and partitioned between DCM and water. The DCM layer was washed 3 more times with water, once with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under vacuum to give 8.63 g of the titled compound as a yellow solid
