Methanesulfonamide → 5-chloro-4-({5-chloro-6-[(1S)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-methylethoxy]pyridin-3-yl}oxy)-2-fluoro-N-(methylsulfonyl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Diisopropylethyl amine (11.7 mL, 66.8 mmol) was added to a solution of (S)-5-chloro-4-((5-chloro-6-((1,1,1-trifluoropropan-2-yl)oxy)pyridin-3-yl)oxy)-2-fluorobenzoic acid (Preparation 299, 6.9 g, 16.7 mmol), (2-(7-Aza-1H-benzotriazole-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate) (9.5 g, 25.1 mmol) and methylsulfonamide (2.4 g, 25.1 mmol) in dichloromethane (125 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 hours, then quenched with an aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride (2M, 50 mL). Organics were removed in vacuo and the aqueous residue was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×100 mL). The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude compound was purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with dichloromethane:methanol (from 100:0 to 96:4), followed by reverse phase chromatography, eluting with acetonitrile:water (from 5:95 to 95:5) to provide the title compound as a white solid (4.8 g, 56%).
