A typical pathway for the preparation of the title compound is depicted. Slight modifications are possible according to the patent literature.
Acylation of 4-iodoaniline (I) with 3,4-dimethoxybenzenesulfonyl chloride (II), followed by basic methanolysis leads to sulfonamide (III). Heck coupling of aryl iodide (III) with acrylic acid (IV) in the presence of tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium and tri(o-tolyl)phosphine gives the cinnamic acid derivative (V). This is then coupled to the tetrahydropyranyl-protected hydroxylamine (VI) by means of EDC/HOBt to furnish (VII). The tetrahydropyranyl hydroxamate (VII) is finally deprotected under acidic conditions to produce the title compound.
