Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-chloro-5-methoxybenzenesulfonyl chloride (2.5 g, 10.4 mmol) (i.e. the product of Step A) in tetrahydrofuran (30 mL) was added 30% ammonium hydroxide (3.0 mL, 25.7 mmol) dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred for 15 minutes, during which time a suspension formed. To this mixture water (10 mL) was added, and the tetrahydrofuran was evaporated under reduced pressure to leave an aqueous suspension of a tan solid. The solid was isolated by filtration and washed with water to afford 2.2 g of the title compound. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.63 (d, 1H), 7.43 (d, 1H), 7.03 (d, 1H), 5.13 (br s, 2H), 3.85 (s, 3H).
