Participants

Reaction Steps

N-[5-Chloro-2-(2-fluoro-6-methoxy-benzoyl)-pyridin-3-yl]-N-methoxymethyl-3-trifluoromethyl-benzenesulfonamide (180 mg, 0.313 mmol) was magnetically stirred in water (1.0 mL) and 4N HCl in dioxane (2.5 mL) and heated at 85° C. for 7 h. The reaction was subsequently concentrated and the residue was neutralized (pH 7) with aqueous sodium bicarbonate and extracted with EtOAc (3×80 mL). The extracts were dried (MgSO4), filtered, and chromatographed on silica gel using EtOAc-hexane (gradient, 0:100 to 50:50) to provide N-[5-chloro-2-(2-fluoro-6-methoxy-benzoyl)-pyridin-3-yl]-3-trifluoromethyl-benzenesulfonamide: MS m/z 489.1 (M+H); 511.0 (M+Na).
