Dimethylformamide → 4-chloro-N-(5-chloro-2-formyl-pyridin-3-yl)-N-methoxymethyl-3-trifluoromethyl-benzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of N-(2-bromo-5-chloro-pyridin-3-yl)-4-chloro-N-methoxymethyl-3-trifluoromethyl-benzenesulfonamide (280 mg, 0.566 mmol) in anhydrous THF (3 mL) was added 2 M isopropylmagnesiumchloride in THF (700 μL, 1.36 mmol) at 0° C. It was stirred at the same temperature for 20 minutes and then DMF (174 μL, 1.36 mmol) was added in dropwise and the progress of the reaction was followed by LCMS. The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 6 h. It was then quenched with saturated aqueous NH4Cl (2 mL), and extracted with EtOAc. The combined extracts were dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography to provide 4-Chloro-N-(5-chloro-2-formyl-pyridin-3-yl)-N-methoxymethyl-3-trifluoromethyl-benzenesulfonamide Mass spectrum m/z: 443.0 (M+H).
