Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl 4-(2-tert-butoxycarbonylaminoethanesulfonyl)benzoate (2.86 g, 8.33 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 ml) was treated with 4M HCl in dioxane (20 ml) for 2 h. Ether (200 ml) was added and the suspension was filtered, washed with ether (2×50 ml), hexane (50 ml) and pumped dry to give methyl 4-(2-aminoethylsulfonyl)benzoate hydrochloride (2.23 g) which was coupled with benzofuran 2-carboxylic acid as described above to afford the title compound.
