Methanesulfonyl chloride → N-[4-[2-[(3,4,5-Trimethoxyphenyl)amino]-7-benzoxazolyl]phenyl]methanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.12 g (0.307 mmol) [7-(4-amino-phenyl)-benzooxazol-2-yl]-(3,4,5-trimethoxy-phenyl)-amine (example 11) and 0.041 g (0.36 mmol) methanesulfonyl chloride in 6 ml pyridine is stirred for 1.5 h at room temperature. Then the reaction mixture is poured on water and extracted 3× with EtOAc. The combined organic layers are washed with 0.1N NaOH solution and water, dried over MgSO4, filtered and the filtrate is concentrated in vacuo. The residue is purified by crystallisation from dichloromethane/diethyl ether to afford the title compound as off-white crystals. Rt=2.22 min (Waters Symmetry C8, 2.1×50 mm, detection 210-250 nM, 5% to 100% CH3CN in H2O in 2 min+0.05% TFA, flow rate 1.0 ml/min); MS: 470 (M+1)+; m.p. 222-225° C.
