Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-bromo-4-fluorobenzenesulfonamide (400 mg, 1.6 mmol) and 2,4-difluorophenol (228 mg, 1.76 mmol) in DMSO (16 ml) was treated with cesium carbonate (1 g, 3.2 mmol). The resulting mixture was heated to 120° C. for 20 min by microwave irriadation (normal). The mixture was treated with water (100 ml) and extracted with EtOAc (3×50 ml). The combined organic extracts were washed with saturated bicarbonate solution (aq), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford a tan solid. The solid was purified by silica gel chromatography (12 g ISCO, 30% EtOAc in hexanes 30 ml/min) to give the title compound (340 mg, 58%) as a tan solid LCMS (M−H)−=362.
