Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

N-(4-Fluoro-3-nitrophenyl)ethanesulfonamide (26 g, 0.107 mol), [(4,4-difluorocyclohexyl)methyl]amine (approx. 15 g), DIPFA (20 mL) and DMSO (100 mL) were mixed together and heated to 65° C. overnight. Ethanolamine (5 g) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred until complete disappearance of N-(4-fluoro-3-nitrophenyl)ethanesulfonamide (approx. 4-5 hrs.). The room temperature cooled down reaction mixture was poured in cold water (900 mL). The product was extracted with DCM (5×200 mL). The combined organic phases were washed with HCl 2N (3×200 mL) and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. The solvent was removed and the crude product was purified on silica gel by flash chromatography (this material can be re-crystallized using a mixture of EtOAc and hexane) to provide the title product (24.2 g) as orange solid.
