Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-(4-methoxybenzyl)-2-(methoxymethyl)-N-(thiazol-2-yl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazine-7-sulfonamide (150 mg, 0.324 mmol) and 5-chloro-2-fluorobenzonitrile (50.55 mg, 0.324 mmol, Aldrich) in DMF (5.0 mL) was added Cs2CO3 (210 mg, 7.95 mmol) and the reaction mixture was heated at 80° C. for 16 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (100 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×50 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the crude material which was purified by column chromatography (silica gel 100-200 mesh and 0-30% ethyl acetate in hexane) to obtain 4-(4-chloro-2-cyanophenyl)-N-(4-methoxybenzyl)-2-(methoxymethyl)-N-(thiazol-2-yl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazine-7-sulfonamide (170 mg, 87.6%) as an off white solid. m/z (ESI) 596.8 (M+H)+.
