Reaction Steps

Ethyl(4-nitrophenyl)acetate (25.0 g, 119.5 mmol) was alkylated with 4-iodomethyltetrahydropyran (32.4 g, 143.4 mmol), according to the protocol described in Preparation 41, to give ethyl 2-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-(tetrahydropyran-4-yl)propionate: δH (CDCl3): 1.21 (3H, t), 1.25-1.45 (3H, m), 1.55-1.65 (2H, m), 1.70-1.80 (1H, m), 2.05-2.15 (1H, m), 3.25-3.35 (2H, m), 3.79 (1H, t), 3.90-3.95 (2H, m), 4.10-4.20 (2H, m), 7.49 (2H, d), 8.19 (2H, d). The nitro group of this compound (6.55 g, 18.1 mmol) was reduced utilising the procedure described in EXAMPLE 145 to give ethyl 2-(4-aminophenyl)-3-(tetrahydropyran-4-yl)propionate: m/z (ES+)=278.2 [M+H]+. This compound (30.5 g, 110 mmol) was transformed into ethyl 2-(4-chlorosulfonylphenyl)-3-(tetrahydropyran-4-yl)propionate employing the protocol described in Preparation 59. A solution of this sulfonyl chloride (33.6 g, 93.2 mmol) in anhydrous THF (100 mL) was added over 30 min at 0° C. to EtNH2 (116.5 mL of a 2.0M solution in THF, 233.0 mmol). The mixture was warmed up to 20° C., before being stirred for 16 h. The suspension was filtered through a Celite pad, which was washed with THF (3×50 mL). The combined THF solutions were concentrated to furnish crude ethyl 2-(4-ethylsulfamoylphenyl)-3-(tetrahydropyran-4-yl)propionate: m/z (ES+)=370.2 [M+H]+. Hydrolysis of this ester (33.7 g, 91.2 mmol), utilising the procedure outlined in Preparation 41, followed by purification via RP-HPLC afforded the title compound: m/z (ES+)=342.2 [M+H]+.
