Ammonia → 4-Bromo-2-chlorobenzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-bromo-2-chlorobenzenesulfonyl chloride (2.50 g, 8.45 mmol) in THF (25 ml) was added a solution of ammonia (25%, 6.3 ml, 84.5 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 4 h at RT. Ethyl acetate (70 ml) and water (50 mL) were added. The organic phase was separated and washed with hydrochloric acid (1 M, 50 ml) and brine (2×30 ml) and dried over sodium sulfate. After evaporation the product was obtained as a white solid (2.05 g, 90%) which was used in the next step without further purification.
