Butyl chloroformate → N-butyloxycarbonyl-3-(4-imidazol-1-ylmethylphenyl)-5-butylthiophene-2-sulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-(4Imidazol-1-ylmethylphenyl)-5-butylthiophene-2-sulfonamide (232 mg, 0.62 mmol; see step (d) above) was dissolved in pyridine (3 mL, dried over 4 Å molecular sieves). Pyrrolidinopyridine (91.6 mg, 0.618 mmol) and butyl chloroformate (785.7 μL, 0.618 mmol) were added to the mixture. The mixture was stirred overnight under a N2 atmosphere at room temperature. Evaporation and co-evaporation with acetonitrile to remove the solvents, followed by purification by column chromatography using 10% MeOH in chloroform as eluent, gave the title compound (29 mg, 0.061 mmol) in 10% yield.
