Hydrochloric Acid → 4-[({[1-(4-Chlorophenyl)cyclopropyl]methyl}amino)carbonyl]-2-fluorobenzenesulfonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Amino-N-{[1-(4-chlorophenyl)cyclopropyl]methyl}-3-fluorobenzamide (Preparation 92, 338 mg, 1.06 mmol) in 6 M of HCl in water (2 mL) was cooled at −5° C. Sodium nitrite (80.5 mg, 1.17 mmol) in water (0.4 mL, 20 mmol) was added slowly. After 20 minutes, sulfur dioxide in AcOH (8:25, sulfur dioxide:AcOH, 3 mL) and copper(II)chloride dihydrate (0.18 g, 1.1 mmol) were added to the reaction mixture. Vigorous gas evolution occurred. After 2 hours, the reaction was poured onto ice and water. The resulting solid was collected by filtration, washed with water, and dried to afford a tan powder.
