Reaction Steps

In an argon stream, 630 mg (1.68 mM) of ethyl 3-hydroxymethyl-6-methyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-4,7-dihydroisothiazolo[5,4-b]pyridine-5-carboxylate obtained in Example 2 was dissolved in 6 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran, and under ice cooling, 0.62 ml (4.45 mM) of triethylamine was added. A solution of 0.26 ml (3.36 mM) of methanesulfonyl chloride in 2 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise, and reacted at the above temperature for 45 minutes. Water (6 ml) was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes. The mixture was then poured into 10% HCl-ice, and extracted with methylene chloride. The methylene chloride layer was washed with water and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give 927 mg of crude ethyl 3-methanesulfonyloxymethyl-6-methyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-4,7-dihydroisothiazolo[5,4-b]pyridine-5-carboxylate as a pale yellow jelly-like product.
