4-acetyl-N-[3-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)propyl]benzenesulfonamide → 4-[3E-(2,4-Dimethoxy-5-pyrrolidin-1-ylphenyl)acryloyl]-N-[3-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)propyl]benzenesulfonamide

Reaction Steps

A solution 4-acetyl-N-[3-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)propyl]benzenesulfonamide (Ex-55A, 830 mg, 2.44 mmol) and 2,4-dimethoxy-5-pyrrolidin-1-ylbenzaldehyde (Ex-38B, 575 mg, 2.44 mmol) in DMF (10.8 mL) and MeOH (4.4 mL) was treated with lithium methoxide (278 mg, 7.32 mmol) and stirred for 20 h at room temperature under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was quenched with water (75 mL) and extracted ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The combined organic phase was brined, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated to a red solid. Column chromatography (5% MeOH in dichloromethane) gave 772 mg (57%) of the title compound as a brown solid, mp 64–68° C. 1H-NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) 8.23 (d, 2H, J=8.7), 8.05 (d, 1H, J=15.3 Hz), 7.88 (d, 2H, J=7.5 Hz), 7.76 (t, 1H, J=4.8 Hz), 7.63 (d, 1H, J=15.3 Hz), 7.16 (s, 1H), 6.67 (s, 1H), 3.86 (s, 6H), 3.16 (br s, 4H), 2.76 (quartet, 2H, J=6.9 Hz), 2.15 (m, 10H), 2.06 (s, 3H), 1.80 (br s, 4H), 1.45 (quintet, 2H, J=6.9 Hz). HRMS (ESI) Calcd. for C29H40N4O5S: 557.2798 [(M+H)+]; Found: 557.2798.
