Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-methyl-3-nitro-phenylamine (3 g) and methanesulfonyl chloride (1.6 mL) in pyridine (30 mL, from Mallinckrodt) was stirred at room temperature overnight. Pyridine was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was taken up with dichloromethane (Mallinckrodt) and washed with water and brine. After drying over sodium sulfate and evaporation of the solvent, N-(2-Methyl-3-nitro-phenyl)-methanesulfonamide (4 g) was obtained.
