Anisole → HCID 67133040, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-[3-(2-acetylimidazol-1-ylmethyl)phenyl]-5-iso-butyl-N-tert-butylthiophene-2-sulfonamide (62.4 mg, 0.132 mmol; see step (b)) in TFA (2 mL) was added anisole (150 μL) and the reaction mixture was stirred overnight at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and dried in vacuo overnight. To the crude product dissolved in CH2Cl2 (2 mL) was added Na2CO3 (302 mg, 2.85 mmol), water (0.8 mL) and butyl chloroformate (83.8 μL, 0.659 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred overnight at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2 (30 mL) and washed with citric acid (10% aq), brine and water, dried (over anhydrous MgSO4), concentrated in vacuo, and the residue purified by flash chromatography using MeOH:CH2Cl2 (5:95) as eluent to give the title compound as a white solid in 34% yield, over two steps, (23 mg, 0.0045 nmol).
