Lithium Hexamethyldisilazide → N-{5-[(2-Chloro-4-pyrimidinyl)acetyl]-2-fluorophenyl}-2,6-difluorobenzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 3-{[(2,6-difluorophenyl)sulfonyl]amino}-4-fluorobenzoate (5.0 g, 13.9 mmol) in THF (100 mL) was added 1.0 M LiHMDS in THF (34.8 mL, 34.8 mmol). A solution of 2-chloro-4-methylpyrimidine (2.7 g, 20.9 mmol) in THF (100 mL) was added dropwise over 30 min, and the reaction was stirred overnight at rt. The reaction was quenched with 10 mL of MeOH and concentrated, and the residue was partitioned between EtOAc and saturated aqueous NaHCO3. The aqueous layer was extracted with 2×50 mL EtOAc, and the combined organic layers were passed through a pad of silica gel, concentrated, and adsorbed onto silica gel. The crude product was purified via flash chromatography with 0-100% EtOAc/DCM to generate 3.07 g (50% yield) of the title compound as a white powder. MS (ESI): 443 (M+H).
