Reaction Steps

Methyl 5-(N-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-N-isobutylsulfamoyl)-2-methoxybenzoate (1.485 g, 3.66 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (DCM) (10 mL) and this was cooled to −78° C. A solution of boron tribromide in DCM (1M, 18.31 mL, 18.31 mmol) was then added dropwise and the reaction stirred under nitrogen. The reaction was then allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred overnight. Water (20 mL) was added dropwise to the reaction mixture and the crude product extracted to the organic phase of an aqueous work up between DCM and water. The aqueous phase was washed twice with DCM. The organic phase was then dried and concentrated in vacuo to give the crude product. LCMS [LCMS2] Rt 1.42 min, m/z (ES+) 392 (M+H).
