Alkylation of N-ethyl mesitylenesulfonamide (I) with 4-bromobutyronitrile (II) in the presence of NaH afforded the cyano sulfonamide (III). After catalytic hydrogenation of the cyano group of (III), the resulting amine (IV) was acylated with mesitylenesulfonyl chloride (V) to give the bis-sulfonamide (VI) (1). Subsequent condensation of (VI) with the bis-sulfonate (VII) produced the tetra-sulfonamide (VIII). Finally, cleavage of the mesitylenesulfonyl protecting groups of (VIII) using HBr in HOAc furnished the corresponding tetraamine, which was isolated as the hydrochloride salt.
