Benzoyl chloride → HCID 86748035, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5.9 g of 2-(4-isopropyl-4-methyl-5-oxo-2-imidazolin-2-yl)-5 -[(phenylsulfonyl)methyl]nicotinic acid, methyl ester, and 0.3 g p-dimethylaminopyridine in 50 mL pyridine is stirred at room temperature and 1.75 mL benzoyl chloride is added in one portion. After stirring overnight, the reaction is concentrated in vacuo and the residue is partitioned between methylene chloride and aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The aqueous phase is further extracted with methylene chloride, and the combined organic phases are dried and concentrated in vacuo. Chromatography of the residue on silica gel using hexane-ethyl acetate mixtures affords the desired product, mp 162°-166°.
