Methyl iodide → 5-bromo-2-(4-cyanophenyl)-N-methyl-6-(N-methylmethylsulfonamido)benzofuran-3-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-bromo-2-(4-cyanophenyl)-N-methyl-6-(methylsulfonamido)benzofuran-3-carboxamide (200 mg, 0.44 mmol), K2CO3 (124 mg, 1.89 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) was stirred at RT and CH3I (182 mg, 1.32 mmol) was added dropwise. The reaction was stirred at RT for 3 h. The reaction was concentrated, washed with H2O and filtered to give 5-bromo-2-(4-cyanophenyl)-N-methyl-6-(N-methylmethylsulfonamido)benzofuran-3-carboxamide (150 mg, yield: 73%). 1H-NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 8.09 (s, 1H), 8.07 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H), 7.78 (s, 1H), 7.76 (s, 1H), 7.74 (s, 1H), 5.88 (s, 1H), 3.34 (s, 3H), 3.10 (s, 3H), 3.05 (d, J=5.2 Hz, 3H). MS (M+H)+: 462/464.
