3-Chlorobenzenesulphonyl chloride → 3-Chloro-N-{2-methyl-6-(methyloxy)-3-[3-(methyloxy)phenyl]thieno[2,3-b]pyridin-4-yl}benzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-methyl-6-(methyloxy)-3-[3-(methyloxy)phenyl]thieno[2,3-b]pyridin-4-amine (Description 37) (16.5 mg, 0.055 mmol) in THF (0.5 mL) at −78° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere was added LiHMDS (1M solution in THF) (0.055 mL, 0.055 mmol). The solution was stirred at −78° C. for ca. 10 min before the addition of 3-chlorobenzenesulfonyl chloride (7.73 μL, 0.055 mmol). The reaction mixture was then warmed to RT under a nitrogen atmosphere overnight and was then partitioned between water and ethyl acetate (ca. 10 mL each). The aqueous layer was separated and re-extracted with ethyl acetate (ca. 10 mL). The combined organic layer was passed through phase separator and the solvent concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by MDAP (acidic conditions), to give the title compound (11 mg). LCMS (A) m/z: 475 [M+1]+, Rt 1.63 min (acidic).
