4-Methylmorpholine → N-(3-fluoro-4-methanesulfonylaminobenzyl)-3-(2-methyl-6-trifluoromethylpyridin-3-yl)acrylamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 3-fluoro-4-methansulfonylaminobenzylamine hydrochloride (67 mg, 0.26 mmol) in THF (5 mL) was added N-methylmorpholine (43 μL, 0.39 mmol). After stirring for 5 minutes, 3-(2-methyl-6-trifluoromethylpyridin-3-yl)acrylic acid (60 mg, 0.26 mmol) and 4-(4,6-dimethoxy[1,3,5]triazin-2-yl)-4-methylmorpholinium chloride hydrate (DMTMM, 73 mg, 0.26 mmol) were added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight, concentrated under reduced pressure, and diluted with EtOAc and water. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by recrystallization from EtOAc/hexane to give N-(3-fluoro-4-methanesulfonylaminobenzyl)-3-(2-methyl-6-trifluoromethylpyridin-3-yl)acrylamide (66 mg, 58.8%) as a solid.
