Pyridine → methyl (1aRS,7bSR)-5-(4-fluoro-2-nitrobenzenesulfonylamino)-1,1a,2,7b-tetrahydrocyclopropa[c]chromene-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl (1aRS,7bSR)-5-amino-1,1a,2,7b-tetrahydrocyclopropa-[c]chromene-4-carboxylate (Intermediate 42, 0.1 g), 4-fluoro-2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride (0.115 g) and pyridine (2 mL) in DCM (5 mL) was stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was concentrated under vacuum and the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was dried (Na2SO4) and filtered and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica, eluting with a mixture of ethyl acetate and petroleum ether (20%) to give methyl (1aRS,7bSR)-5-(4-fluoro-2-nitrobenzenesulfonylamino)-1,1a,2,7b-tetrahydrocyclopropa[c]chromene-4-carboxylate (0.11 g) as a yellow oil.
