Methanesulfonyl chloride → HCID 10806538, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 200 ml of pyridine was dissolved 25.5 g of 7-amino-2,3-dihydro-6-phenoxy-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one. To the solution being maintained at 20°-25° C. was dropwise added 12.6 g of methanesulfonyl chloride. The mixture was subjected to reaction for 12 hours at the same temperature. The solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in 200 ml of ethyl acetate. The solution was extracted with two 500-ml portions of a 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The extracts (the aqueous layers) were combined, adjusted to pH 4 with 4N hydrochloric acid, and extracted with two 300-ml portions of ethyl acetate. The extracts (the organic layers) were combined, washed with water and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution in this order, and dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The resulting crystal was recrystallized from methanol to obtain 27.0 g (yield: 81.1%) of 2,3-dihydro-7-methylsulfonylamino-6-phenoxy-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one.
