Sodium hydride → (R)-2-[2-(6-Bromo-3-fluoro-pyridin-2-yl)-2-(2-nitro-benzenesulfonylamino)-propoxy]3,3,3-trifluoro-2-methyl-propionic acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (R)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-methyl-propionic acid ethyl ester (715 mg, 3.84 mmol) in DMF (4 ml) was added NaH (55%) (154 mg, 3.84 mmol) at room temperature and the reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature. A solution of 6-bromo-3-fluoro-2-[2-methyl-1-(2-nitro-benzenesulfonyl)-aziridin-2-yl]-pyridine (800 mg, 1.922 mmol) in DMF (9 ml) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 48 hours. The reaction mixture was poured onto a mixture of ice/2N HCl/t-butyl-methylether. The organic layer was washed with sat. sodium bicarbonate solution and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. Silica gel chromatography (cyclohexane/ethyl acetate) afforded the title compound as a mixture of 2 diastereoisomers. 300 mg (26% yield). TLC (cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 2:1) Rf=0.42; LCMS RtH5=1.25 min (100%, TIC ES+ 602, 604).
