Methanesulfonyl chloride → HCID 56592714, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)-3-methoxybenzamide (Preparation 155, 155 mg, 0.50 mmol) in anyhydrous THF (5 mL) was added 1M LiHMDS (1.25 mL, 1.25 mmol) via syringe. The mixture was stirred for 20 minutes before adding mesyl chloride (0.116 mL, 1.50 mmol) and then stirred for 18 hours at room temperature. The reaction was quenched with the addition of 2M HCl (20 mL), and the aqueous was extracted with EtOAc (3×20 mL). The combined organics were concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with a gradient of 25% EtOAc in heptane to 100% EtOAc. The title compound was obtained as a white solid (40 mg, 21%).
