Participants

Reaction Steps

To 3-chloro-4-fluoro-N-pyrimidin-4-ylbenzenesulfonamide (Preparation 426, 73 mg, 0.25 mmol) in methylene chloride (2 mL) cooled at 0° C. was added N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.066 mL, 0.38 mmol) and chloromethyl methyl ether (0.025 mL, 0.28 mmol). After stirring at room temperature for 18 hours, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed successively with 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide, water, saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to give 76 mg (90%) of the title compound as an orange oil and a mixture of three regioisomers that were not separated.
