Triethylamine → N-(4-methyl-1,2,5-oxadiazol-3-yl)-4-(methylsulfonyl)-2-nitrobenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

495 mg (2.02 mmol) of 2-nitro-4-methylsulfonylbenzoic acid and 200 mg (2.02 mmol) of 4-methyl-1,2,5-oxadiazol-3-ylamine are dissolved at room temperature (RT) in 5 ml of CH2Cl2 and treated with 0.28 ml (2.02 mmol) of triethylamine, 49 mg (0.40 mmol) of 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) and 1.93 g (3.03 mmol) of 2,4,6-tripropyl-1,3,5,2,4,6-trioxatriphosphinane 2,4,6-trioxide (50% solution in THF). The reaction mixture is stirred for 30 h at RT and subsequently washed twice with in each case 5 ml of water. The organic phase is dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated. The residue is purified by column chromatography (silica gel, heptane/ethyl acetate). Yield 350 mg (53%).
