Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4'-Amino-3'-methylacetophenone from Step VIII (3.0 g, 20 mmol) in 15 ml of dry pyridine at 5° C. is reacted with 3.0 g (26.2 mmol) of methanesulfonyl chloride in 5 ml of tetrahydrofuran. The reaction is stirred at 5° C. for 2 hrs, then at room temperature overnight. The reaction is diluted with ice-water. The solid is collected, washed with water, air dried and crystallized from methylene chloride-pet. ether to yield the title compound; m.p. 152°-153° C.
