Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(tert-butyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (0.121 ml, 0.581 mmol), 1-bromo-2-methylpropane (0.126 ml, 1.162 mmol) and 4-fluoro-N-(6-methoxypyridin-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide (164 mg, 0.581 mmol) was prepared and dissolved in acetonitrile (4 mL). The reaction was heated by microwaves to 150° C. for 30 minutes, then again for a further 15 minutes. After cooling the reaction was quenched with sodium hydroxide in ethanol and concentrated in vacuo. The product was extracted to the organic phase of an acidic work up between ethyl acetate and 5% citric acid. The organic phase was dried by passing through a hydrophobic frit, concentrated in vacuo and purified by flash silica (Si) chromatography (0-25% ethyl acetate-cyclohexane gradient), to give the title compound (125.5 mg). LCMS (2 min, formic) Rt 1.33 min, m/z (ES+) 339 (M+H).
