Diisopropylethylamine → N-(sec-butylsulfonyl)-2,4,5-trifluorobenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (0.41 g, 2.1 mmol), 4-dimethylaminopyridine (0.26 g, 2.1 mmol) and N-ethyl-N-isopropylpropan-2-amine (0.9 mL, 4.2 mmol) were added to a solution of 2,4,5-trifluorobenzoic acid (0.25 g, 1.4 mmol) in DCM. After 10 minutes butane-2-sulfonamide (Preparation 29, 0.29 g, 2.1 mmol) was added and the reaction was left at room temperature for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue purified by preparative HPLC to yield the title compound as a white solid (0.19 g, 31% yield):
