Triethylamine → 2-(3-(methylsulfonamidomethyl)phenyl)-N-((2-m-tolyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl)methyl)propanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A cooled solution of 2-(3-(aminomethyl)phenyl)-N-((2-m-tolyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl)methyl)propanamide (90 mg, 21 mmol) in dichloromethane was added triethylamine (45 μL, 42 mmol) at 0° C. The resulting solution was treated dropwise with methanesulfonyl chloride (24.4 μL, 31.6 mmol) over 10 min and stirred for 1 h at room temperature. After aqueous workup, the residue was purified by flash column chromatography to obtain 2-(3-(methylsulfonamidomethyl)phenyl)-N-((2-m-tolyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl)methyl)propanamide (example 1) (67 mg, 60%).
