Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of dimethyl 2-(5-(N-(5-cyclopropyl-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(methylcarbamoyl)benzofuran-6-yl)methylsulfonamido)-2-nitrophenyl)malonate (10.0 g, 15.3 mmol) in 1:1:1 THF/MeOH/water, was added 3N aqueous NaOH (20 mL). The resulting mixture was heated at 55° C. for 15 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and treated with 5N aqueous HCl to pH 5. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×30 mL). The organic layer was washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness. The residue was triturated with methanol and ether and the solid collected by filtration to give the title compound in 75% yield. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 12.52 (br. s., 1H) 8.49 (q, J=4.23 Hz, 1H) 8.09-8.15 (m, 1 H) 8.02 (s, 1H) 7.96 (d, J=3.32 Hz, 4H) 7.31-7.44 (m, 4H) 7.25 (s, 1H) 3.98 (s, 2H) 3.56 (s, 3H) 2.84 (d, J=4.69 Hz, 3H) 1.94-2.03 (m, 1H) 0.85 (d, J=3.13 Hz, 3H) 0.48 (br. s., 1H). LCMS (m/z, ES+)=583 (M+H+).
