Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of phenyl 2-{4-[(4,6-dimethyl-3-nitro-2-pyridinyl)amino]phenyl}ethylcarbamate (step 2, 10.0 g, 24.6 mmol) and p-toluenesulfonamide (6.3 g, 36.8 mmol) in DMF (100 mL) was added sodium hydride (2.0 g, 50 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The reaction mixture was poured into water (300 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate/toluene (v/v, 2:1, 2×300 mL). The organic extracts were washed with water (100 mL) and brine (200 mL), then dried (Na2SO4). Removal of the solvent gave crude product. Recrystallization from ethyl acetate gave 9.6 g (81%) of the title compound as brown solids. The mother liquor was concentrated and the residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexane/ethyl acetate (1:1) to afford 1.9 g (16%) of the title compound as brown solids.
