Reaction Steps

Hydrochloride compound 23 (1.5 g, 3.69 mmol) was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (50 mL) and cooled to 0-5° C. N,N′-Diisopropylethylamine (1.28 mL, 7.74 mmol) was added to the above solution followed by addition of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (0.58 g, 3.06 mmol) in small portions. The reaction mixture was then warmed up to room temperature and stirred overnight. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residual oil was taken up in EtOAc (75 mL). The organic layer was washed with 2.0 M HCl (1×10 mL), water (1×50 mL), and brine (2×50 mL). The resulting EtOAc layer was dried and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield oil. Flash chromatography (hexanes:ethyl acetate—3:2 containing 1% acetic acid) yielded the desired sulfonamide 24 (0.9 g, 47%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): 7.54 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 7.29 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H), 7.22 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 2H), 7.10 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 6.86 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 2H), 6.82 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 4.39 (m, 1H), 3.58 (s, 3H), 2.72-2.92 (m, 4H), 2.69 (s, 3H), 2.57-2.64 (m, 4H), 2.47 (s, 3H), 2.35 (s, 3H).
