Sodium Iodide → HCID 22176584, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a 250 mL-3 neck flask fitted with a stirrer and thermometer, 400 mg of [2-hydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propyl][(methylethyl)sulfonyl]amine in DMF (10 mL) was added dropwise to 40 mg of NaH in DMF (30 mL) while stirring at room temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere. After stirring at this temperature for 30 minutes, 290 mg of alpha-bromo 2-cyanotoluene in DMF (10 mL) was added dropwise followed by the addition of 184 mg of NaI portion wise. The reaction was then heated at 100° C. for 2 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and poured into H2O and the desired product was extracted with ethyl acetate. This organic layer was washed with H2O, dried over K2CO3, and concentrated under reduced vacuum to yield 612 mg of a brown oil. This material was purified via silica gel chromatography employing the Chromatotron and using a 4000 micron rotor while eluting with a solvent of hexane/ethyl acetate 1:1 to yield intermediate title compound (161 mg, 28%) as a viscous oil. Ion spray M.S. 387.9 (M*−1).
