1,2-Dichloroethane → (S)-4-(2-(3-tert-butoxy-3-oxopropanoyloxy)-2-(3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-4-(difluoromethoxy)phenyl)ethyl)-3,5-dichloropyridine 1-oxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (S)-3,5-dichloro-4-(2-(3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-4-(difluoromethoxy)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl)pyridine 1-oxide (1 g, 2.380 mmol), 3-tert-butoxy-3-oxopropanoic acid (0.457 g, 2.86 mmol), EDC (1.369 g, 7.14 mmol), and DMAP (0.291 g, 2.380 mmol) in DCM (50 ml) was stirred at RT overnight. The reaction mixture was washed with HCl 1N, NaHCO3 5% and brine. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated to dryness. The crude was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel column (DCM:EtOAc=40:60) affording (S)-4-(2-(3-tert-butoxy-3-oxopropanoyloxy)-2-(3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-4-(difluoromethoxy)phenyl)ethyl)-3,5-dichloropyridine 1-oxide (1.1303 g, 2.010 mmol, 84% yield, MS/ESI+ 562.0 [MH]+).
