2-Bromo-4-fluorobenzene-1-sulfonyl chloride → Methyl 8-(2-bromo-4-fluorobenzenesulfonylamino]-pyrazolo[5,1-a]isoquinoline-7-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 8-aminopyrazolo[5,1-a]isoquinoline-7-carboxylate (Intermediate 6, 0.140 g) and 2-bromo-4-fluorobenzenesulfonyl chloride (0.190 g) in pyridine (4 mL) and DCM (3 mL) was stirred at room temperature overnight. The resultant mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified by chromatography on silica, eluting with a mixture of ethyl acetate and cyclohexane with a gradient of 0-60%. The resultant glass was triturated with ether to give methyl 8-(2-bromo-4-fluorobenzenesulfonylamino]-pyrazolo[5,1-a]isoquinoline-7-carboxylate (0.103 g) as an off-white solid.
