Ammonium Chloride → N-(3-methoxy-5-methylpyrazin-2-yl)pyridine-3-sulphonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-{4-[(2-tert-butoxy-1-methylethoxy)methyl]phenyl}-N-(3-methoxy-5-methylpyrazin-2-yl)pyridine-3-sulphonamide (248 mg) in trifluoroacetic acid (1 ml) was left to stand for 30 minutes. Saturated ammonium chloride solution (20 ml) was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×20 ml). The extracts were dried (MgSO4) and concentrated and the residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (10 ml). The solution was washed with water (2×10 ml) and dried (MgSO4). Volatile material was removed by evaporation and the residue was purified by flash chromatography, eluting with methanol/ethyl acetate (1:24 v/v), to give 2-[4-([2-hydroxy-1-methyl)ethoxy]methyl)phenyl]-N-(3-methoxy-5-methylpyrazin-2-yl)pyridine-3-sulphonamide (82 mg), 1H NMR (d6-DMSO): 1.15 (s, 3H), 2.25 (s, 3H), 3.3-3.7 (s, 3H), 3.8 (s, 3H), 4.6 (s, 2H), 7.3-7.55 (m, 5H), 7.6 (dd, 1H), 8.45 (dd, 1H), 8.8 (dd, 1H), 10.35-10.45 (br s, 1H); mass spectrum (+ve ESP): 445 (M+H)+.
