Methanesulfonyl chloride → HCID 68511606, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (5-bromo-2-methoxy-pyridin-3-ylmethyl)-(4-p-tolyloxy-phenyl)-amine (0.73 g, 1.82 mmol) from Step A in CH2Cl2/pyridine (6 mL/3 mL) was dropwise added methylsulfonyl chloride (0.17 mL, 2.2 mmol) at 0° C. The resulting mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred overnight. The reaction was then diluted with CH2Cl2 and washed with aqueous HCl (3N) to remove pyridine. The organic layer was then brought to the usual work-up. The crude product was purified by chromatography (silica gel, 30% EtOAc/hexanes). MS (EI) 477, 479 (M+H)+.
