Tert-butyl acetoacetate → HCID 86643503, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 2-chloro-5-(2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-benzo[b]azepine-1-sulfonyl)-phenylamine (1.0 g, 3 mmol, step 4B) in dry toluene (60 mL) was added tert-butyl acetoacetate (0.75 mL, 4.5 mmol) and 4-dimethyl-aminopyridine (0.37 g, 3 mmol). The mixture was refluxed under N2 for 16 hrs. After the removal of toluene, the reaction residue was repartitioned with ethyl acetate (100 mL) and water (50 mL). The organic layer was washed with sat. NH4Cl (2×50 mL) and brine (2×50 mL) and was dried over MgSO4. Concentration and purification by silica gel column chromatography eluting with hexane/ethyl acetate (3/1 to 1/1) yielded N-[2-chloro-5-(2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-benzo[b]azepine-1-sulfonyl)-phenyl]-3-oxo-butyramide as yellowish solid (1.0 g). MS: 421.0 (M+H)+; tR=2.74 min (method 1).
