Chlorosulfamic acid → 2-Sulfamoylamino-6-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)benzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Amino-6-(4,5-dihydrofuran-2-yl)benzonitrile (Example 186b) (0.24 g, 1.28 mmol), 10% Pd/C (0.24 g), and ammonium formate (2.40 g, 38.1 mmol) were refluxed in MeOH (25 mL) under nitrogen for 1.5 h. The insoluble solids were filtered out and discarded, and the solvent was removed under vacuum. The resultant residue was dissolved in EtOAc, washed with saturated Na2CO3 and brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was dissolved in anhydrous DMA (2.0 mL) and was treated with sulfamoyl chloride (0.11 g, 0.97 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred under nitrogen for 30 minutes, quenched with water (5.0 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×50 mL). The combined extract was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under vacuum. The crude product was purified by silica gel prep-TLC using 65% EtOAc/hexanes to give 45.0 mg (13%) of the title compound as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, Acetone-d6) δ 1.71-1.78 (m, 1H), 2.02-2.07 (m, 2H), 2.45-2.52 (m, 1H), 3.90-3.95 (m, 1H), 4.10-4.15 (m, 1H), 5.08 (t, J=6.8 Hz, 1H), 6.6-6.8 (broad, 2H), 7.36-7.39 (m, 1H), 7.62-7.63 (m, 2H), 8.22 (broad s, 1H).
