Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-chloro-3-methylpyridin-2-amine (500 mg, 3.51 mmol) in pyridine (7 mL) stirred in air at room temperature was added a solution of 4-fluorobenzene-1-sulfonyl chloride (819 mg, 4.21 mmol) in pyridine (7 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 20° C. for 16 hours then the solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The crude was passed through an aminopropyl (NH2) solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridge eluting with methanol followed by 2M ammonia/methanol, then a sulphonic acid (SCX) SPE cartridge eluting with methanol followed by 2M ammonia/methanol. The appropriate fractions were combined and evaporated under a stream of nitrogen to give the crude product. The crude was purified by flash silica (Si) chromatography (0-100% ethyl acetate-cyclohexane+0-20% methanol gradient). The appropriate fractions were combined and evaporated in vacuo to give the title compound (502 mg) as an off-white solid. LCMS (2 min, formic) Rt 1.02 min, m/z (ES+) 301 (M+H).
