4-Methoxybenzenesulfonyl chloride → N-({4-chloro-3-[(3-chloro-5-cyanophenyl)oxy]phenyl}methyl)-4-(methyloxy)benzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-{[5-(aminomethyl)-2-chlorophenyl]oxy}-5-chlorobenzonitrile (0.025 g, 0.085 mmol), 4-(methyloxy)benzenesulfonyl chloride, (0.025 g, 0.13 mmol) and DIPEA (0.05 mL, 0.25 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (2 mL) was stirred overnight. The solvent was concentrated and purification was accomplished by RP-HPLC (water/acetonitrile/0.1% TFA). The desired fractions were lyophilized and EtOAc (25 mL) and sat. NaHCO3 (10 mL) were added. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer extracted with EtOAc (2×10 mL). The organic extracts were combined, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to afford N-({4-chloro-3-[(3-chloro-5-cyanophenyl)oxy]phenyl}methyl)-4-(methyloxy)benzenesulfonamide (0.030 g, 75%) as a solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ ppm 8.03 (t, 1H), 7.80 (d, 1H), 7.66 (d, 2H), 7.51 (d, 1H), 7.38 (dd, 1H), 7.32 (t, 1H), 7.15 (dd, 1H), 6.99-7.10 (m, 3H), 3.96 (d, 2H), 3.78 (s, 3H). MS: m/z 485 (M+23).
