4-Toluenesulfonyl chloride → 3-({2-chloro-4-[(E)-2-cyclopentyl-1-(5-methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridin-2-yl)ethenyl]phenyl}sulfanyl)propyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (148 μL), trimethylamine hydrochloride (50 mg) and 4-methylbenzenesulfonyl chloride (74 mg) were sequentially added to a solution of 6-[(E)-1-{3-chloro-4-[(3-hydroxypropyl)sulfanyl]phenyl}-2-cyclopentylethenyl]-3-methylpyridin-2(1H)-one obtained in Example 1-22 (143 mg) in chloroform (5 mL) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for one hour. Water and N,N-dimethylethylenediamine were added to the reaction solution, followed by extraction with chloroform. The organic layer was sequentially washed with 1 M hydrochloric acid and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered. The solvent was then evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=9:1→1:1) to give 3-({2-chloro-4-[(E)-2-cyclopentyl-1-(5-methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridin-2-yl)ethenyl]phenyl}sulfanyl)propyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (33 mg, 18%) as a colorless amorphous.
