Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of (4-carbamoyl-3-mercapto-isothiazol-5-yl)-carbamic acid phenyl ester (0.075 g, 0.25 mmol) in 0.5 mL of DMF was added 4-methylbenzylchloride (0.036 g, 0.25 mmol), followed by N,N-disopropylethylamine (0.033 g, 0.25 mmol). After stirring for 18 hours at ambient temperature, tetrahydrofuran (1 mL) was added, followed by 3-chloro-4-fluorobenzylamine (0.051 g, 0.51 mmol). After stirring for 24 hours at 45° C., the mixture was diluted with 1M HCl, extracted 3× with ethyl acetate, and the combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by radial chromatography on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate-hexane, affording 26 mg of 5-[3-(3-chloro-4-fluoro-benzyl)-ureido]-3-(4-methyl-benzylsulfanyl)-isothiazole-4-carboxylic acid amide as a colorless solid. HPLC ret. time: 4.9 minutes. 1H NMR (400 MHz, acetone-d6) δ 7.95 (bs, 1H), 7.54 (dd, 1H, J=2, 7.2 Hz), 7.39 (m, 1H), 7.31-7.25 (m, 3H), 7.11 (d, 2H, J=8.0 Hz), 7.01 (bs, 2H), 4.48 (m, 4H), 2.28 (s, 3H) ppm; MS (APCI, m/z): 465 [M+H]+.
