Water → 4-Fluorobenzenesulfonic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trifluoroacetic acid (1 ml) was added to a solution of 4-fluoro-benzenesulfonic acid 2-[tert-butoxycarbonyl-(3-chloro-4-methoxy-benzyl)-amino]-3H-benzoimidazol-5-yl ester (67 mg) in dichloromethane (4 ml). After cooling, the mixture was neutralised by addition of saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. Water (10 ml) was added and the solution extracted three times with dichloromethane (10 ml). The combined extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate and then evaporated. The residue was subjected to flash chromatography on silica eluting with a mixture of ethyl acetate and heptane (1:1, v/v) to give 4-fluoro-benzenesulfonic acid 2-(3-(chloro-4-methoxy-benzylamino)-3H-benzoimidazol-5-yl ester (53 mg) as an off-white solid. Mass spectrum: 462 [M+H]+; retention time=7.69 minutes.
