Carbon Dioxide → 1-chloro-N-(2,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-N-(1,2,4-thiadiazol-5-yl)isoquinoline-6-sulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 250 mL round bottom flask was charged with N-(2,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-1,2,4-thiadiazol-5-amine (2.291 g, 9.12 mmol) and THF (45.6 mL). The resulting mixture was cooled in a dry ice and acetone bath for 10 min. To this solution was added lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (13.68 mL, 13.68 mmol) dropwise over 30 seconds. The ice bath was removed for 10 minutes and then the flask was returned to the bath for an additional 5 minutes. A solution of 1-chloroisoquinoline-6-sulfonyl chloride (2.39 g, 9.12 mmol) in 7 mL of THF was then added dropwise over 5 minutes. The ice bath was removed and the resulting mixture stirred for 30 minutes. LC/MS indicated that the desired product was generated. The reaction mixture was concentrated, taken up in minimal DCM, loaded onto a cartridge and purified by silica gel chromatography (330 g), using 0 to 30% Heptane: EtOAc. Fractions containing the product were combined and concentrated to afford (1-chloro-N-(2,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-N-(1,2,4-thiadiazol-5-yl)isoquinoline-6-sulfonamide (1.58 g, 3.31 mmol) as a white solid.
