Reaction Steps

Ex-50A: A solution of 4-acetyl-N-(3-imidazol-1-ylpropyl)benzenesulfonamide (Ex-23A, 312 mg, 1.02 mmol) and 5-(2-amino-phenylethynyl)-2,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (Ex-35C, 287 mg, 1.02 mmol) in DMF (4.4 mL) and MeOH (1.9 mL) was treated with lithium methoxide (155 mg, 4.08 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 h under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was quenched with water (25 mL) and extracted with (3:1) ethyl acetate/THF (3×25 mL). The organic phase was brined, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated to a yellow oil. The crude material was purified by column chromatography (0–7.5% MeOH in dichloromethane) to give 4-{3E-[5-(2-amino-phenylethynyl)-2,4-dimethoxy-phenyl]acryloyl}-N-(3-imidazol-1-ylpropyl)benzenesulfonamide (309 mg, 53%) as a yellow oil. 1H-NMR (3.00 MHz, DMSO-d6) 8.28 (d, 2H, J=7.80), 8.20 (s, 1H), 8.01 (d, 1H, J=15.0 Hz), 7.86 (m, 5 H), 7.51 (s, 1H), 7.16 (d, 1H, J=7.5 Hz), 7.23 (m, 2H), 6.79 (d, 2H, J=10.8 Hz), 6.72 (d, 1H, J=8.1 Hz), 6.52 (t, 1H, J=7.2 Hz), 5.45 (m, 1H), 3.97 (s, 3H), 3.96 (s, 3H), 3.92 (m, 4H), 1.77 (quintet, 2H, J=6.6 Hz).
