2-Bromo-4-fluorobenzene-1-sulfonyl chloride → Methyl 7-(2-bromo-4-fluorobenzenesulfonylamino)-1,2,3,3a,4,5-hexahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoline-6-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Bromo-4-fluorobenzenesulfonyl chloride (0.656 g) was added to a solution of methyl 7-amino-1,2,3,3a,4,5-hexahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoline-6-carboxylate (Intermediate 33, 0.575 g) in pyridine (15 mL) and DCM (15 mL) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water and the organic layer was dried (Na2SO4) and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified by chromatography on silica, eluting with a mixture of ethyl acetate and cyclohexane with a gradient of 0-25% to give a pale yellow solid which was triturated with a mixture of ether and cyclohexane (1:1) to give methyl 7-(2-bromo-4-fluorobenzenesulfonylamino)-1,2,3,3a,4,5-hexahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoline-6-carboxylate (0.966 g)
