Sodium hydride → Methyl 5-{[4-{[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)(methyl)amino]methyl}-3-fluoro-2-(2-fluoropyridin-3-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl]sulfonyl}-2-furoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of sodium hydride (60% in oil, 64.3 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (2 mL) was added a solution of tert-butyl {[5-(2-fluoropyridin-3-yl)-4-fluoro-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]methyl}methylcarbamate (400 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (1 mL) at room temperature and the mixture was stirred for 15 min. 15-Crown-5 (354 mg) and methyl 5-(chlorosulfonyl)-2-furoate were added dropwise and the mixture was further stirred at room temperature for 30 min. The reaction mixture was diluted with water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The separated aqueous layer was extracted again with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane-ethyl acetate=6:1→2:1) to give the title compound as a pale-yellow oil (yield 522 mg, 83%).
