o-Toluenesulfonyl chloride → HCID 67398885, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of sodium hydride (60% in oil, 26.0 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (3 mL) was added tert-butyl {[5-(2-cyanopyridin-3-yl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]methyl}methylcarbamate (156 mg) at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred for 15 min. After stirring, 15-crown-5 (143 mg) and 2-methylbenzenesulfonyl chloride (203 mg) were added dropwise and the mixture was further stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. Saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution was added, and the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was 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=9:1→2:1) to give the title compound as a pale-yellow oil (yield 202 mg, 87%).
