Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

t-Butyl amine (5.9 mL, 56 mmol, 1.0 eq) and DIPEA (9.7 mL, 56 mmol, 1.0 eq) were added to 350 ml DCM. The solution was cooled to 0° C. and a solution of 4-bromomethylbenzenesulfonyl chloride (15.1 g, 56 mmol, 1.0 eq) in 100 mL DCM was added drop-wise via an addition funnel. The mixture was then slowly warmed to room temperature and stirred for 3 hours. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was dissolved into 350 mL EtOAc. The organic was washed with 1N aq. HCl, saturated bicarbonate, water, saturated aqueous NaCl, dried over MgSO4, and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated to yield intermediate (2a) (13.6 g).
