Reaction Steps

3-(4-Hydroxymethylphenyl)-5-iso-butyl-N-tert-butylthiophene-2-sulfonamide (280 mg, 0.734 mmol, see step (a) above) was dissolved in DMF (10 mL). PPh3 (459.2 mg, 1.75 mmol) and CBr4 (580.3, 1.75 mmol) were added to the resultant solution. The mixture was stirred for 24 h at room temperature and then diluted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with water (50 mL) and brine (50 mL) and then dried over MgSO4. After removing the solvents, the residue was purified by column chromatography using hexane:acetone (5:1) as eluent to give the sub-title compound (314.9 mg, 0.709 mmol, 76% yield).
