Water → Ethyl 2-[2-(2,4-difluorophenylamino)-5-fluoro-6-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulfonyloxy)nicotinoyl]acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 4 ml of methylene chloride was dissolved 400 mg of ethyl 2-[2-(2,4-difluorophenylamino)-5-fluoro-6-hydroxynicotinoyl]acetate, and 300 mg of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulfonyl chloride and 150 mg of triethylamine were added thereto with ice-cooling, after which the resulting mixture was subjected to reaction at room temperature for 2 hours. Subsequently, to the reaction mixture were added 4 ml of methylene chloride and 4 ml of water, and the organic layer was separated, washed successively with 4 ml of water and 4 ml of saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure, and to the crystalline material thus obtained was added 2 ml of diethyl ether, after which crystals were collected by filtration to obtained 520 mg (yield 85.8%) of ethyl 2-[2-(2,4-difluorophenylamino)-5-fluoro-6-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulfonyloxy)nicotinoyl]acetate. The physical properties of this compound were identical with those of the compound obtained in Example 19.
