Reaction Steps

Sodium hydrosulfide monohydrate (237 mg, 4.3 mmol) was added to a solution of 4-fluoro-3-(morpholine-4-sulfonyl)-benzoic acid (Example 6, 350 mg, 1.2 mmol) in DMF (15 mL) and the reaction mixture was heated at 60° C. for 20 hours under N2. After cooling to room temperature and quenching with 2M HCl, the reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. Further extraction of the aqueous layer with ethyl acetate, combination of all organic layers, drying and concentration provided a white powder (326 mg, 89% yield): 1HNMR DMSO-d6) δ2.99 (t, J=4 Hz, 4H), 3.58 (t, J=4. Hz, H), 7.48 (d, J=8 Hz,1H), 7.87 (dd, J=8, 2 Hz, 1H), 8.29 (d, J=2 Hz, 1H), 13.20 (s, 1H): MS (ESI) [M−H]− m/z 304.
