Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(4-dimethoxymethyl-2-methoxy-3-nitrophenoxy)ethylamine (0.5 g, 1.8 mmol) obtained in Step 3 in THF (10 mL) was added with triethylamine (0.38 mL, 2.7 mmol) and n-propanesulfonyl chloride (0.24 mL, 2.2 mmol), followed by stirring at room temperature for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was added with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was added with methanol (6.0 mL) and 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid, followed by stirring for 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was added with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain [2-(4-formyl-2-methoxy-3-nitrophenoxy)ethyl]propane-1-sulfonamide (0.39 g, 62%).
