Water → 1,1-Dimethylethyl (2S)-2-[({4-[(phenylmethyl)oxy]-3-[(3-pyridinylamino)carbonyl]phenyl}oxy)methyl]-1-pyrrolidinecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (36.0 mg, 1.50 mmol) was added to a solution of 5-hydroxy-2-[(phenylmethyl)oxy]-N-3-pyridinylbenzamide (may be prepared as described in Example 29; 400 mg, 1.25 mmol) in dimethylsulfoxide (8 ml) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. 1,1-Dimethylethyl (2S)-2-({[(4-chlorophenyl)sulfonyl]oxy}methyl)-1-pyrrolidinecarboxylate (444 mg, 1.25 mmol) in dimethylsulfoxide (7 ml) was added to the solution dropwise, and the mixture was stirred at 75° C. for 18 h. The mixture was poured into water (100 ml), extracted thoroughly with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried, and concentrated to obtain a crude product, which was purified by chromatography on silica gel (dichloromethane/methanol=50:1) to yield the title compound as a yellow oil. 0.60 g.
