Cesium carbonate → HCID 23447918, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of 2.83g of Compound 9A, 6.05 g of cesium carbonate and 2.95 g of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl p-toluenesulphonate in 60 mL of acetonitrile was refluxed for 16 hours. The solvent was evaporated at reduced pressure; 90 mL of brine was added to the residue and the mixture was extracted with 3×40 mL of ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with 3×20 mL of water and 20 mL of brine, and dried over sodium sulphate. The solvent was removed at reduced pressure and the residue purified by flash chromatography (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate gradient 95:5 to 80:20). The solvents were removed in vacuo to give 1.86 g (52%) of Compound 9B as a white solid. M.p. (98) 102-105° C.
