Bumetanide → Bumetanide dibenzylamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Bumetanide (960 mg, 2.6 mmol) was dissolved in dimethyiformamide (DMF, 10 mL) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC, 560 mg, 3.6 mmol) was added. After 10 minutes 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt, 392 mg, 2.9 mmol) was added and the solution was stirred for an additional 10 minutes. Dibenzylamine (1 mL, 5.2 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred for 2 hours, at which time the reaction was complete by LC/MS. The reaction was poured into saturated ammonium chloride (20 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 mL). The ethyl acetate, was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate, water and brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The ethyl acetate was removed under reduced pressure to yield 1.0 g (75%) of N,N-dibenzyl 3-aminosulfonyl-5-butylamino-4-phenoxybenzamide as white solid.
