4-Toluenesulfonyl chloride → HCID 15869961, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of the compound of product of Step 3 (0.200 g, 0.549 mmol) in acetone (5.3 mL), under nitrogen, is treated first with 5% aqueous sodium carbonate (5.3 mL) and then, dropwise during 3minutes with a solution of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (0.16 g, 0.82 mmol) in acetone (2.7 mL). Initially this mixture is a two phase solution; however, after about 25minutes a precipitate began to form. It is kept at ambient temperature (23° C.) for 4 hours and filtered. The filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure to remove acetone and the aqueous residue is extracted with CH2Cl2. The extract is dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to give a small amount of crude product. Most of the product is in the aqueous layer which is concentrated in vacuo. The residue is combined with the crude product from the CH2Cl2 extract and chromatographed on silica gel with mixtures of MeOH--NH4OH--CH2CI2 that continued 3-5% MeOH and 0.3-0.5% NH4OH. The product is crystallized from MeOH--EtOAc to give the title compound. mp 140-146° C.;
