Methyl 2-[(4-methoxy-6-methyl-pyrimidin-2-yl)carbamoylsulfamoyl]benzoate → N[(4-methoxy-6-methylpyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-2-(n-butylthio)carbonylbenzenesulfonamide

Reaction Steps

Trimethylaluminum (1.5 ml) (2M) was charged via syringe to 5.0 ml dry toluene under nitrogen atmosphere and 0.54 g (0.006 mole) N-butanethiol in 2.0 ml toluene was added dropwise. N-[(4-methoxy-6-methylpyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-2-methoxycarbonylbenzenesulfonamide (0.95 g) was added portionwise and the mixture warmed to 80° C. for 3 hr. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was quenched with 25 ml of 10% HCl. Methylene chloride was added, separated, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to give a crude oil. Trituration with hexanes gave 0.6 g white solid, m.p. 115°-120° C., showing infrared absorption peaks at 1725, 1680, 1600, 1560 cm-1 consistent for N-[(4-methoxy-6-methylpyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-2-(N-butylthio)carbonylbenzenesulfonamide.
