Sodium hydride → tert-Butyl {[5-bromo-1-(pyridin-3-ylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]methyl}methylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of sodium hydride (60% in oil, 7.4 g) in tetrahydrofuran (300 mL) was added a solution of tert-butyl [(5-bromo-1H-pyrrol-3-yl)methyl]methylcarbamate (44.5 g) in tetrahydrofuran (60 mL) at 0° C., and 15-crown-5 (40.7 g) and pyridine-3-sulfonyl chloride (30.1 g) were added at the same temperature. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min, water was added and the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was washed with a mixed solvent of diisopropyl ether-hexane=1:1 to give the title compound as colorless crystals (yield 45.2 g, 68%).
