Ethyl Acetate → Cyclopropanesulfonic acid [4,5-difluoro-6-(2-fluoro-4-iodo-phenylamino)-benzooxazol-7-yl]-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Potassium trimethylsilonolate (29 mg, 0.182 mmol) was added to a solution of 8-cyclopropanesulfonyl-4,5-difluoro-6-(2-fluoro-4-iodo-phenyl)-6,8-dihydro-imidazo[4′,5′:3,4]benzo[1,2-d]oxazol-7-one (I-19a: 65 mg, 0.121 mmol) in THF (5 mL) and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction was monitored by TLC (50% ethyl acetate in hexane). The reaction mixture was concentrated and the concentrate was dissolved in water, acidified with 2N HCl and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated to afford the crude product. Purification by column chromatography on silica gel (25-35% ethyl acetate in hexane) afforded 18 mg of the product (29.5% yield).
