Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-(4-(aminomethyl)benzyl)-3,5-dichloro-N-(4-fluorobenzyl)-2-hydroxybenzenesulfonamide (235 mg, 0.50 mmol) in a mixed solvent (10 mL of CH2Cl2 and 2 mL of i-propanol) at rt was added 4-fluorobenzaldehyde (62 mg, 0.50 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at rt overnight. The next morning, sodium borohydride (37 mg, 1.00 mmol) was added, and the mixture was stirred at rt for 2 h. The reaction mixture was quenched by adding 3 mL of MeOH and 3 ml of saturated aq NaHCO3. The reaction mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×50 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried, concentrated and purified by prep HPLC to give the title compound (164 mg, 57%) as a white solid. MS (ESI): 577.0 (M+H)+.
