Dimethylamine → 4-[3-Chloro-4-[[(2R)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoyl]amino]phenyl]sulfonyl-N,N-dimethylbenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Oxalyl chloride (0.45 ml) was added to a stirred suspension of (R)-N-[2-chloro-4-(4-carboxyphenylsulphonyl)phenyl]-2-hydroxy-2-methyl-3,3,3-trifluoropropanamide (Example 121) (1.81 g) in DCM (100 ml) containing DMF (10 drops). The mixture was stirred for 5 hours and then a solution of dimethylamine (4.2 ml, 2M solution in methanol) was added, and the solution was stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was washed with dilute hydrochloric acid solution (2×25 ml) then dried. Volatile material was removed by evaporation and the residue was purified by chromatography on a silica gel Mega Bond Elut column eluting with 0-10% methanol/DCM to yield the title compound (0.68 g) as a solid. M.p. 120.5° C. (Mettler FP62 apparatus); NMR: (CDCl3): 1.70 (s, 3H), 2.90 (s, 3H), 3.10 (s, 3H), 5.20 (s, 1H), 7.5 (d, 2H), 7.85 (d, 1H), 7.90-8.00 (m, 3H), 8.60 (d, 1H), 9.40 (s, 1H); MS (ESP−): 477.
