Reaction Steps

To a stirred, cooled (-20° C.) solution of 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoic acid (0.82 g, 5.2 mmol) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (10 mL) was added thionyl chloride (0.62 g, 5.2 mmol) and the mixture stirred at -10° to -15° C. for 1 hour. 4-[(2-Cyanophenyl)sulfonyl]benzeneamine (1.00 g, 3.8 mmol) was added in one portion and the reaction mixture stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was poured-into water and the aqueous solution decanted from an oily solid which was purified by flash column chromatography (5% v/v ethyl acetate/methylene chloride). Recrystallization from methylene chloride/hexane yielded the title propanamide as a white solid (1.08 g, 72%); mp 156°-158° C. 1H-NMR (250 MHz, d6-DMSO): 1.58 (s, 3H, CH3) 7.59 (s, 1H, OH) 7.88-8.13 (m, 7H, aromatic) 8.31 (d, 1H, J=6.9 Hz, aromatic) 10.50 (s, 1H, OH). MS (CI, CH4): 399 (M+1).
