Potassium Iodide → HCID 11510788, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-[2-(4-Hydroxy-phenyl)-5-methyl-oxazol-4-yl]-1-(2-(R)-methyl-pyrrolidin-1-yl)-ethanone (See Example 56) (0.32 g, 1.1 mmol), 4-methylsulfonylbenzyl chloride (0.29 g, 1.4 mmol), Cs2CO3 (0.9 g, 2.75 mmol), and potassium iodide (0.24 g, 1.4 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) is stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture is partitioned between EtOAc and water. The aqueous phase is extracted with EtOAc (2×), and the combined organic phase is washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated. The residue is purified by flash chromatography [40 g SiO2, elute 20% (10% 2 M NH3 in MeOH/90% CH2Cl2): 80% CH2Cl2 to 70% (10% 2 M NH3 in MeOH/90% CH2Cl2): 30% CH2Cl2] to yield the title compound. MS (m/e): 455.3 (M+1)
