Sodium hydride → tert-butyl({5-bromo-1-[(6-methylpyridin-3-yl)sulfonyl]-1H-pyrrol-3-yl}methyl)methylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl [(5-bromo-1H-pyrrol-3-yl)methyl]methylcarbamate (207 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (30 mL) was added sodium hydride (60% in oil, 31 mg) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 10 min. A solution (3 mL) of 15-crown-5 (0.16 mL) and 6-methylpyridin-3-ylsulfonyl chloride (117 mg) in tetrahydrofuran was added at the same temperature. After stirring at room temperature for 30 min, water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution, water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane-ethyl acetate=4:1) to give the title compound as a brown oil (yield 213 mg, 79%).
