Acetonitrile → Methyl 6-(2-chloro-4-[(2-furanylmethyl)amino]-5-(2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl)phenylsulfonamidomethoxy)(6-oxo)hexanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2,2,2-trichloroethyl 5-(aminosulfonyl)-4-chloro-2-[(2-furanylmethyl)amino]benzoate (0.060 mole), chloromethyl 6-methoxy-6-oxohexanoate (0.060 mole), DBN (1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene, Aldrich) (0.060 mole) and dry acetonitrile (100 mL) is stirred at ambient temperature for 10 hours. The reaction mixture is diluted with dichloromethane (200 mL) and extracted with sodium bicarbonate solution, washed with water, and then with a saturated sodium chloride solution. The organic layer is dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give crude product, which is purified by column chromatography on silica gel with hexanes/ethyl acetate as eluent. The fractions that contain pure product may be combined and spin evaporated in vacuo to give methyl 6-(2-chloro-4-[(2-furanylmethyl)amino]-5-(2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl)phenylsulfonamidomethoxy)(6-oxo)hexanoate.
