Reaction Steps

6-(4-Chloro-2-methyl-phenylamino)-7-fluoro-3-(2-oxo-ethyl)-3H-benzoimidazole-5-carboxylic acid cyclopropylmethoxy-amide (0.020 g, 0.046 mmol) is dissolved in methanol (2 mL). Potassium carbonate (0.013 g, 0.093 mmol) and 1-isocyanomethanesulfonyl-4-methyl-benzene (0.010 g, 0.051 mmol) are added. The reaction mixture is stirred at reflux for 16 hours under N2, then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is dissolved in ethyl acetate and poured into a reparatory funnel and washed with water and brine. The combined aqueous layers are reextracted with ethyl acetate (2×). The combined ethyl acetate layers are dried (Na2SO4,) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting solid was purified by flash column chromatography (eluting with 15:1 methylene chloride:methanol) to yield 0.011 g (50%) of the desired product.
