Sodium hydride → tert-Butyl ({4-fluoro-5-(2-fluoropyridin-3-yl)-1-[(5-methoxypyridin-2-yl)sulfonyl]-1H-pyrrol-3-yl}methyl)methylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of sodium hydride (60% in oil, 168 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) were added tert-butyl {[4-fluoro-5-(2-fluoropyridin-3-yl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]methyl}methylcarbamate (970 mg), 15-crown-5 (925 mg) and a solution of 5-methoxypyridine-2-sulfonyl chloride (984 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (15 mL) at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred for 30 min. The reaction mixture concentrated under reduced pressure to a half volume, diluted with water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The separated aqueous layer was extracted again with ethyl acetate. Combined organic layers were washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent:hexane-ethyl acetate=17:3→1:1) to give the title compound as a yellow oil (yield 1.38 g, 93%).
