Sodium Hydroxide → 3-[3-(2-bromoimidazol-1-ylmethyl)phenyl]-5-iso-butyl-N-tert-butylthiophene-2-sulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-bromoimidazole (68.9 mg, 0.469 mmol; see step (a)) in DMSO (1 mL) and NaOH (32.8 mg, 0.82 mmol), that had been stirred for 40 min at ambient temperature, was added a solution of 3-(3-bromomethylphenyl)-5-iso-butyl-N-tert-butylthiophene-2-sulfonamide (173.6 mg, 0.391 mmol; see Example 1(e)) in DMSO (1 mL) dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h at ambient temperature and then diluted with CH2Cl2 (15 mL). The organic layer was washed with water, dried (over anhydrous MgSO4), concentrated in vacuo, and the residue purified by flash chromatography using MeOH:CH2Cl2 (3:97) as eluent to give the sub-title compound in 99% yield as a colourless syrup (197.3 mg, 0.387 mmol).
