2-Bromo-4-fluorobenzene-1-sulfonyl chloride → methyl 6-(2-bromo-4-fluorobenzenesulfonylamino)-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazole-5-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Bromo-4-fluorobenzenesulfonyl chloride (0.410 g) was added to a solution of methyl 6-amino-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazole-5-carboxylate (Intermediate 55, 0.290 g) in pyridine (10 mL) and DCM (10 mL) and the resultant mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was separated, dried (Na2SO4) and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified by chromatography on silica, eluting with a mixture of methanol and DCM with a gradient of 0-15% to give a sandy coloured solid which was triturated with ether and filtered to give methyl 6-(2-bromo-4-fluorobenzenesulfonylamino)-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazole-5-carboxylate (0.268 g).
