Hydrochloric Acid → 4-[Benzyl-(4-methoxy-benzenesulfonyl)-amino]-7-trifluoromethylquinoline-3-carboxylic Acid Ethyl Ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.85 g (6.67 mmol) of N-benzyl 4-methoxyphenyl-sulphonamide in 15 mL of DMF was added, in one portion, 0.267 g (6.67 mmol) of 60% sodium hydride and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature under nitrogen for 15 min. Ethyl 4-chloro-7-trifluoromethyl-3-quinolinecarboxylate (2.02 g, 6.67 mmol) was then added to the solution in one portion and the resulting mixture was heated at 85° C. for 24 h. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature, poured into a mixture of water (300 mL) and HCl (1N, aqueous, 100 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was then chromatographed on silica gel eluting with 15%-50% ethyl acetate/hexane to give 3.11 g (88%) of the desired product. Electrospray Mass Spec 545.1 (M+H)+.
