Sodium hydride → HCID 18357989, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The reaction was carried out as described in Example 107, but using 5 ml of a solution of 1.6 mmol of 6(1,2-dithiolan-3-yl)hexanoic acid (prepared as described in Example 104) in toluene, 7 ml of anhydrous dimethylformamide, 308 mg of N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole, 365 mg of sulfamide and 83 mg of sodium hydride (as a 55% w/w dispersion in mineral oil). The solvent was removed from the reaction mixture by evaporation under reduced pressure, and water was added to the residue, after which it was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extraction solution was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The ethyl acetate was removed from the extraction solution by evaporation under reduced pressure, and the residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography, using 3:2 and 2:1 by volume mixtures of ethyl acetate and hexane as the eluent. The solvent was removed from the eluate by evaporation under reduced pressure, and the residue was recrystallized from a 1:2 by volume mixture of ethyl acetate and hexane, to obtain 92 mg of the title compound as pale yellow crystals, melting at 130 to 132° C.
