Reaction Steps

To a solution of crude methyl 3-{bis[(3-chloropropyl)sulfonyl]amino}-2-fluoro-5-nitrobenzoate (D141) (900 mg, 1.81 mmol, 1 equiv) in MeOH (25 ml) was added a 2N aqueous NaOH solution (15 ml, 30 mmol, excess) and the resulting mixture was stirred for 1 h. Most of MeOH was removed in vacuo and the residue partitioned between AcOEt and a 2N aqueous HCl solution. The two layers were separated and the aqueous phase was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was triturated with Et2O/iso-hexane to give 3-{[(3-chloropropyl)sulfonyl]amino}-2-fluoro-5-nitrobenzoic acid (D143) (600 mg, 97%) as a light tan solid which was used in the next step without further purification. No molecular ion, RT=3.05 min.
