Reaction Steps

To a cooled suspension of 2-[2-(3-bromo-phenyl)-2-hydroxy-ethylamino]-N-phenyl-acetamide (840 mg) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (760 mL) in methylene chloride (20 mL) was added benzenesulfonyl chloride (0.31 mL). The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour and at room temperature overnight. A 1M aqueous solution of KHSO4 was added, the phases were separated, and the inorganic one was extracted with ethyl acetate (×2). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, n-heptanelethyl acetate 1:1) to yield 2-{benzenesulfonyl-[2-(3-bromo-phenyl)-2-hydroxy-ethyl]-amino}-N-phenyl-acetamide (1.17 g, 99%) as a white foam, MS: 489.0 (M+H, 1Br)+.
