Phenylmethanesulfonyl chloride → HCID 44284880, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The keto amide (8) (109 mg, 0.24 mmol) was dissolved in ethyl acetate (5 mL) and cooled in an ice bath. Dry HCl gas was bubbled through until the solution was saturated and then the solution was stirred at r.t. until the starting material had been consumed as indicated by tlc (˜30 min). The solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue (22) was dissolved in dry CH2Cl2 (5 mL) and triethylamine (61 mg, 84 μL) added. The solution was then added dropwise to a solution of benzyl sulfonyl chloride (46 mg, 0.24 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (5 mL) cooled in an ice bath. The resulting solution was allowed to stir at r.t. for 16 h. It was washed with 1M HCl, 5% sodium bicarbonate solution and saturated brine, then dried (MgSO4) and the solvent removed under reduced pressure to yield the product as a white solid (51 mg, 42%): mp 128-130° C. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ2.61 & 2.99 (ABX, 2H, β-CH2), 2.86 (t, 2H, CH2Ph), 3.57 (m, 2H, NH—CH2), 4.74 (m, 1H, α-CH), 5.14 (2×s, 4H, benzyl CH2's), 6.53 & 6.74 (m, 2H, NH's), 7.29 (m, 15H, aromatic CH's); FABMS m/e 509 (M++1).
