Reaction Steps

To a 1M solution of 1-[5-Amino-3-chloro-2-(5-chloro-benzothiazol-2-ylsulfanyl)-phenyl]-ethanone, (265) (4.12 g, 11.19 mmol) in pyridine, obtained from Aldrich, was added 2-chloro-4-trifluoromethyl-benzenesulfonyl chloride (3.75 g, 13.43 mmol) and heated to 90° C. for 1.5 hours. The crude reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum, partitioned between 2M aqueous HCl (100 mL) and EtOAc (100 mL), and extracted 3 times with EtOAc (100 mL). The combined organic layers were washed twice with saturated aqueous brine (100 mL), dried over Na2SO4, concentrated under vacuum, purified by column chromatography (0-5% Et2O in CH2Cl2), and triturated with CH2Cl2/hexane mixture with 0.5 mL of MeOH added to yield compound 277 (4.9 g, 72%) as an off white solid.
