Reaction Steps

A cooled (0° C.) solution of 6-((cyclopropylmethyl)(propyl)amino)pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid (Intermediate 21, 100 mg; 0.43 mmol) in DCM (5 ml) was treated with triethylamine (0.1 ml; 0.72 mmol) and methyl chloroformate (0.060 ml; 0.78 mmol). After stirring at 0° C. for 30 minutes, ethyl 4-(4-aminophenylsulfonyl)butanoate (Intermediate 48, 125 mg; 0.46 mmol) was added. After stirring at 0° C. for 5 minutes and RT for 1 hour water was added and the mixture passed through a hydrophobic frit. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue purified by column chromatography (silica) eluting with petroleum ether containing increasing amounts of EtOAc to give ethyl 4-(4-(6-((cyclopropylmethyl)(propyl)amino)pyrimidine-4-carboxamido)phenylsulfonyl)butanoate. The intermediate was redissolved in ethanol (3 ml) and treated with 10% sodium hydroxide solution (2 ml). After stirring at RT for 18 hours the mixture was acidified to pH 3 with dilute HCl and EtOAc added. The organic phase was removed in vacuo and the aqueous phase extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic extracts were passed through a hydrophobic frit and the solvent removed in vacuo. The residue was triturated with diisopropyl ether and allowed to dry to give the title compound as an off-white solid.
