Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (2,2,3,3-tetramethylcyclopropyl)methanol (80 mg, 0.62 mmol) in dry DMF (10 mL) at 0° C. was added NaH (25 mg, 0.62 mmol). After being stirred for 30 min, 5-chloro-2,4-difluoro-N-(methylsulfonyl)benzamide (54 mg, 0.21 mmol) was added. After being stirred at room temperature for 18 h, the mixture was diluted with water (10 mL) and EtOAc (20 mL). The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (20 ml×2). The combined organic layers was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The residue was purified by prep-HPLC (Gilson GX 281, Shim-pack PRC-ODS 250 mm×20 mm×2, gradient: CH3CN/10 mm/L NH4HCO3, 17 min) to afford 5-chloro-2-fluoro-N-(methylsulfonyl)-4-((2,2,3,3-tetramethylcyclopropyl)-methoxy)benzamide (20 mg, 25% yield) as a white solid. LCMS (ESI) Method A: RT=5.11 min, m/z: 268 [M-109]+. 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 7.35 (d, J=9.0 Hz 1H), 7.03 (d, J=7.0 Hz, 1H), 6.04 (brs, 1H), 3.99 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 2H), 2.80 (s, 3H), 1.06 (s, 6H), 0.99 (s, 6H), 0.65 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 1H); 13C NMR (125 MHz, MeOH-d4): δ 159.4 (d, J=3.5 Hz), 133.9 (d, J=2.1 Hz), 114.1, 104.2, 103.9, 71.4, 41.7, 32.5, 24.2, 23.7, 17.4.
