Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (5-bromo-2-methoxy-phenoxy)-tert-butyl-dimethyl-silane (2 g, 6.32 mmol) dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (25 mL) at −78° C. under nitrogen is dropwisely added 1.7 M of tert-butyllithium (8.06 mL, 12.6 mmol). The reaction mixture is stirred at −78° C. for 5 minutes. Then, the solution of 2-chloro-5-formyl-benzenesulfonamide (0.462 g, 2.11 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) is added slowly. The reaction mixture is warmed up to room temperature and stirred for 24 h. The reaction is quenched with 1 N of HCl, and extracted with ethyl acetate three times. The combined organic extracts are washed with a saturated sodium chloride solution, dried with magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by silica gel chromatography (50% ethyl acetate-hexane) provides 0.57 g (59%) of the title compound as a brown oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 8.00 (m, 1H), 7.40 (m, 2H), 6.70 (d, 3H), 5.70 (s, 1H), 5.00 (m, 2H), 3.70 (s, 3H), 0.90 (s, 9H), 0.05 (s, 6H).
