p-Toluenesulfonic acid → HCID 86601657, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(2-({[(2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl]amino}carbonyl){2-[(methylsulfonyl)oxy]ethyl}-4,6-dinitroanilino)ethyl methanesulfonate (13g) [Palmer et al., J. Med. Chem. 1997, 40, 1272] (5.0 mmol) in MeOH (200 mL) was treated with p-toluenesulfonic acid (0.2 g) at room temperature for 4 h. Most of the MeOH was then evaporated, and the residue was taken up in EtOAc (200 mL), washed with satd. NaHCO3 and brine, dried and concentrated. Chromatography of the product on silica gel, eluting with EtOAc/MeOH (20:1), gave 2-(2-{[(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)amino]carbonyl}{2-[(methylsulfonyl)oxy]ethyl}-4,6-dinitroanilino)ethyl methanesulfonate (13f) (2.0 g, 73%): as yellow foam;
