Hydrochloric Acid → 4-Chloro-4'-methylsulphonylaminobenzophenone

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Amino-4'-chlorobenzophenone (4 g.) was heated under reflux with a mixture of pyridine (15 ml.) and methanesulphonyl chloride (10 g.) for 30 mins. The mixture was then poured into a mixture of ice and hydrochloric acid and then filtered to give 4-chloro-4'-methylsulphonylaminobenzophenone m.p. 198°-200° C. A mixture of this product (2.4 g.) ethyl carbazate (2 g.) and a trace amount of pyridine hydrochloride in ethanol (50 ml.) was heated under reflux for 24 hours. The mixture was then cooled to 0° C. and filtered to give 4-chloro-4'-methylsulphonylaminobenzophenone ethoxycarbonyl hydrazone, m.p. 198°-200° C.
