4-Toluenesulfonyl chloride → ethyl (2E)-3-[5-chloro-6-({(3R)-1-[(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl]-3-pyrrolidinyl}amino)-3-pyridinyl]acrylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl (2E)-3-{5-chloro-6-[(3R)-3-pyrrolidinylamino]-3-pyridinyl}acrylate dihydrochloride (560 mg), p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (318 mg) and Et3N (0.7 ml) in DMF (15 ml) was stirred at ambient temperature for 10 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into a mixture of AcOEt and H2O and the organic layer was washed with brine and dried over MgSO4. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was crystallized from AcOEt-n-hexane to give ethyl (2E)-3-[5-chloro-6-({(3R)-1-[(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl]-3-pyrrolidinyl}amino)-3-pyridinyl]acrylate (490 mg).
