Oxolane--water (1/1) → 6-(N-(3-Chloro-4-formylphenyl)methylsulfonamido)-5-cyclopropyl-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-N-methylbenzofuran-3-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 6-(N-(3-chloro-4-vinylphenyl)methylsulfonamido)-5-cyclopropyl-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-N-methylbenzofuran-3-carboxamide (890 mg, 1.65 mmol) in 1:1 THF/water (36 mL) was treated with a solution of osmium tetroxide (2.5% in t-butanol, 0.415 mL, 0.033 mmol) and stirred for a few minutes. The resulting solution was treated with sodium periodate (883 mg, 4.13 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred for 16 h at rt. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed with 1:1 water/brine (1×), then brine (1×). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane, filtered and the filtrate was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, gradient of 0 to 50% EtOAc in hexanes) to afford the title compound (0.45 g, 50%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) ppm 10.23 (s, 1H), 8.45-8.53 (m, 1H), 8.04 (s, 1H), 7.94-8.01 (m, 2H), 7.86 (d, 1H), 7.35-7.46 (m, 3H), 7.31 (dd, 1H), 7.24-7.29 (m, 1H), 3.57 (s, 3H), 2.84 (d, 3H), 1.89-1.98 (m, 1H), 0.68-1.02 (m, 3H), 0.42-0.58 (m, 1H). LCMS (m/z, ES+)=541 (M+H+).
