Reaction Steps

6-Amino-2-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-5-isopropoxy-benzofuran-3-carboxylic acid methylamide, prepared according to Example 16 (100 mg, 292 μmol) was dissolved in dry dichloromethane (3 mL) under an argon atmosphere. The reaction was cooled down to 0° C. with an ice bath. Pyridine (16.83 μL, 321 μmol) and methanesulfonyl chloride (22.61 μL, 292 μmol) were mixed together under argon, and then added dropwise to the first aniline solution. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (20 mL) and extracted with dichloromethane (3×10 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with a 1N HCl solution, water, a saturated aqueous bicarbonate solution and brine and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 20 to 50% ethyl acetate in hexanes gradient) to provide 68 mg (56%) of the product.
