Procedure

A solution of 4-(2-aminoethyl)benzenesulfonamide (0.70 g, 3.5 mmol), AcOH (0.20 mL) and tert-butyl 2-(2-formyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)acetate (0.735 g, 3.5 mmol) in DCE (20 mL) was heated at 80° C. for 30 min under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C., and treated sequentially with NaBH(OAc)3 (2.25 g, 10.5 mmol) and tert-butyl glyoxalate (1.80 g). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight and quenched with water. The reaction mixture was extracted with DCM and the organic layer was dried and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography over silica gel to afford tert-butyl 2-(((1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methyl)(4-sulfamoylphenethyl)amino)acetate (0.63 g, 35%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 7.67 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 7.25 (s, 2H), 7.23 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 7.04 (d, J=1.2 Hz, 1H), 6.76 (d, J=1.2 Hz, 1H), 4.82 (s, 2H), 3.74 (s, 2H), 3.24 (s, 2H), 2.69-2.66 (m, 4H), 1.41 (s, 9H), 1.40 (s, 9H); ESMS m/z: 509 (M+H)+.
