Hydrochloric Acid → [(4-Hydroxy-benzenesulfonyl)-(4-methoxy-benzyl)amino]-acetic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 8.7 g (45.2 mmol) of 4-hydroxybenzenesulfonyl chloride in 80 ml of CH2Cl2, a solution of 6.75 g (32.3 mmol) of (4-methoxy-benzylamino)-acetic acid methyl ester in 20 ml of CH2Cl2 and 12 ml (79.2 mmol) of triethylamine were added dropwise at 0° C. The resulting mixture is stirred for 4 h at r.t., neutralized with cold 1 N aqueous HCl and extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined extracts are washed with H2O and brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluent; AcOEt:CH2Cl2=50:1˜5:1) to give [(4-hydroxy-benzenesulfonyl)-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-amino]-acetic acid methyl ester; NMR (CDCl3): 3.57 (s, 3H), 3.79 (s, 3H), 3.90 (s, 2H), 4.40 (s, 2H), 5.59 (s, 1H), 6.84 (d, 2H, J=8.6 Hz), 6.93 (d, 2H, J=10.64 Hz), 7.15 (d, 2H, J=8.6 Hz), 7.82 (d, 2H, J=10.64 Hz).
