Phenyl thioxochloroformate → HCID 19426779, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-[4-[4-(2-methyl-tetrazol-5-yl)-2,6-dimethylphenoxy]-1-hydroxy-butyl]-1-methylimidazole (690 mg, 1.94 mmol) in 30 ml of acetonitrile was added at 20° C. 473 mg (3.88 mmol) of DMAP and 403 mg (2.33 mmol) of phenyl chlorothioformate, and the mixture was stirred at 20° C. for 3 h. The solvent was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was partitioned between methylene chloride and an aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica column chromatography (20 cm column, ethyl acetate/hexane, 1/1-4/1) to afford 750 mg (78%) of 2-[4-[4-(2-methyl-tetrazol-5-yl)-2,6-dimethylphenoxyl]-1-phenoxythiocarbonyloxy-butyl]-1-methylimidazole, as a yellow oil.
