(R)-1,2-Epoxypropane → (R)-methyl 2-chloro-4-(2-hydroxypropylthio)benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

140 mg of (R)-propylene oxide was reacted with methyl 2-chloro-4-mercaptobenzoate via Procedure S to afford (R)-methyl 2-chloro-4-(2-hydroxypropylthio)benzoate. 435 mg of (R)-methyl-2-chloro-4-(2-hydroxypropylthio)benzoate was hydrolyzed via Procedure M to give (R)-2-chloro-4-(2-hydroxypropylthio)benzoic acid. 403 mg of (R)-2-chloro-4-(2-hydroxypropylthio)benzoic acid was reacted via Procedure R to give (R)-2-chloro-4-(2-hydroxypropylsulfonyl)benzoic acid. 298 mg of 4-chloro-3-(pyridine-2-yl)aniline was coupled to (R)-2-chloro-4-(2-hydroxypropylsulfonyl)benzoic acid via Procedure G. The product was purified on reverse phase HPLC to yield (R)-2-chloro-N-(4-chloro-3-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl)-4-(2-hydroxypropylsulfonyl)benzamide. MS (Q1) 465.1 (M)+.
