1,1,1-Trifluoro-N-phenylmethanesulfonamide → 2-[(3-Hydroxy-5-trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy-pyridine-2-carbonyl)-amino]-2-methyl-propionic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution in 2-[(3,5-dihydroxy-pyridine-2-carbonyl)-amino]-2-methyl-propionic acid methyl ester, 18, (0.312 g, 1.23 mmol) in MeOH (10 mL) containing diisopropylethylamine (0.214 mL, 1.23 mmol) at 0° C. under N2 is added N-phenyltrifluoromethanesulfonamide (0.439 g, 1.23 mmol). The reaction is warmed slowly to room temperature and stirred for 40 hours. The solvent is removed under reduced pressure and the crude oil which remains is purified over silica (EtOAc:heptane 1:9) to afford 0.170 g (36% yield) of the desired compound as a yellow oil.
