Methanol → N-(5-benzyloxy-6-hydroxymethyl-4-oxo-4H-pyran-2-ylmethyl)-benzene sulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of N-(5-hydroxy-6-hydroxymethyl-4-oxo-4H-pyran-2-ylmethyl)-benzene sulfonamide (9-01) (1.7 g, 5.46 mmol) in methanol (30 mL) aqueous NaOH (218.4 mg, 5.46 mmol, 2M) was added. After heating to reflux, benzyl bromide (0.654 mL, 5.46 mmol) was added and heating was continued for 24 h. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was concentrated to remove methanol, then diluted with water and extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic layer was washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution, water and brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. It was then purified using normal column chromatography to get N-(5-benzyloxy-6-hydroxymethyl-4-oxo-4H-pyran-2-ylmethyl)-benzene sulfonamide (10-01) (1.02 gm, 46.48%) as a white solid.
