Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 1-(4-aminophenyl)-N-methylmethanesulfonamide (500 mg, 2.50 mmol) in hydrochloric acid (6 M, 10 mL) at 0° C. was added a solution of sodium nitrite (181 mg, 2.62 mmol) in water (3.0 mL) over 5 min. The reaction mixture was maintained at 0° C. for 2.5 hr, was treated with tin(II) chloride (1.33 g, 6.99 mmol) in hydrochloric acid (6M, 15 mL) and was then warmed to RT for 64 hr. The resulting mixture was basified to pH 12 with aq NaOH (6.0 M) and was extracted with EtOAc (2×100 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with water and then dried and evaporated in vacuo to give a residue that was suspended in ethanol (10 mL) and treated with 4,4-dimethyl-3-oxopentanenitrile (160 mg, 1.3 mmol) and conc hydrochloric acid (12 M, 106 μL, 1.27 mmol). The resulting mixture was heated at reflux for 5 hr and after a further 23 hr at RT was evaporated in vacuo, to remove the ethanol. The resulting aq mixture was basified with aq NaOH (2.0 M) and was then extracted with DCM (2×30 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried and evaporated in vacuo to afford the title compound, Intermediate A13, as an orange solid (146 mg, 85% purity, 15%); Rt 1.34 min (Method 2); m/z 323 (M+H)+, (ES+). This material was used in subsequent steps without further purification.
