Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of 5-{4-[2-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy]benzyl}-1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-dione (0.52 g, 1.40 mmol) in DCM (15 ml) was added DMSO (0.5 ml) and the solution was cooled to 0° C. Phosphorus pentoxide (0.41 g, 1.44 mmol) was added followed by triethylamine (0.90 mL, 6.48 mmol). The reaction was allowed to slowly warm to RT and then stirred for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was partitioned between DCM and H2O, and the aqueous phase was extracted with DCM. The combined organic phases were washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated in vacuo. The resulting white solid was chromatographed on a small silica gel column eluting with 10% EtOAc/DCM. Fractions containing product were combined and evaporated in vacuo to give 0.25 g (48%) of the title compound as a white solid. MS (ESI+) for C18H14FNO4S m/z 359.9 (M+H)+. MS (ESI−) for C18H14FNO4S m/z 358.0 (M−H)−.
