Sodium Methoxide → HCID 72201854, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-(4-(benzyloxy)benzofuran-2-yl)-2-bromoimidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole (Example 38E, 3.22 g, 7.55 mmol) in a mixture of dichloromethane (400 mL) and methanol (50 mL) was treated at 22° C. with 6.3 mL of a 25 wt. % solution of sodium methoxide in methanol (30.2 mmol) added in one portion. More methanol (45 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred for 40 min. The reaction mixture was quenched by the addition of 40 mL of 1 N hydrochloric acid followed by 10 ml of saturated sodium bicarbonate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was diluted with dichloromethane (400 mL), washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. Crystallization of the white solid residue from 1,2-dichloroethane (30 mL) gave 2.19 g of the title material as a white solid. Chromatography of the mother liquors on silica gel (3×10 cm, elution with dichloromethane-ethyl acetate 0-1%) gave another 0.46 g of product (total yield 2.65 g, 93%). LC (Method A): 2.379 min. HRMS (ESI) calcd for C20H16N3O3S [M+H]+ m/z 378.0907, found 378.0911. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 600 MHz) δ ppm: 4.18 (s, 3H), 5.21 (s, 2H), 6.71 (dd, J=7.4 Hz and J=0.95 Hz, 1H), 7.12-7.17 (m, 3H), 7.32 (broad t, 1H), 7.38 (broad t, 2H), 7.47 (broad d, 2H), 7.88 (s, 1H).
