Triethylamine → Benzamide, 3-[(2,4-difluorophenyl)thio]-4-[(methylsulfonyl)amino]-

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-amino-3-(2,4-difluorophenylthio)benzamide (0.82 g), methanesulfonyl chloride (0.64 g) and triethylamine (0.6 g) in dichloromethane (10 ml) was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was evaporated. To the residue were added methanol (10 ml) and potassium hydroxide (0.6 g). The mixture was kept overnight and evporated. The residue was treated with diluted hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water, dried and concentrated. The residue obtained was recrystallized from ethanol to give 3-(2,4-difluorophenylthio)-4-(methanesulfonamido)benzamide (0.54 g).
