Reaction Steps

N-[5-Bromo-1H-pyridin-(2Z)-ylidene]-4-methyl-benzenesulfonamide (80 g, 244.5 mmol) is suspended in anhydrous DMF (350 ml). Hunigs base (46.8 ml, 268.9 mmol) is added followed by 2-bromoacetamide (37.12 g, 268.9 mmol) and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 72 hours. The reaction is poured into water (1000 ml) and the mixture is stirred for 1 hour. The product is collected by filtration, washed with more water (300 ml) and dried in a vacuum oven at 50° C. to give the title compound.
