Hydrochloric Acid → N-(azetidin-1-ylsulfonyl)-5-chloro-2-fluoro-4-((1-(trifluoromethyl)-cyclopentyl)methoxy)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 5-chloro-2-fluoro-4-((1-(trifluoromethyl)cyclopentyl)-methoxy)benzoic acid (0.34 g, 1.00 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 mL) were added 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (0.29 g, 1.50 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (0.28 g, 2.30 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 10 minutes, azetidine-1-sulfonamide (0.20 g, 1.50 mmol) was added and the stirring was continued at ambient temperature for 17 hours. 5% aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (10 mL) were added and diluted with ethyl acetate (100 mL), washed with water and brine; dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the residue by column chromatography (30% ethyl acetate in hexanes) afforded the title compound (0.22 g, 46%) as a colorless solid: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.61 (br s, 1H), 8.11 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 1H), 6.69 (d, J=12.9 Hz, 1H), 4.22 (br s, 4H), 4.03 (s, 2H), 2.31-2.17 (m, 2H), 2.08-1.92 (m, 2H), 1.89-1.70 (m, 6H); MS (ES+) m/z 459.0, 461.0 (M+1); MS (ES−) m/z 457.1, 459.1 (M−1).
