Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

LiAlH4 (235 mg, 6.2 mmoles) was suspended in dry THF (10 mL) under nitrogen atmosphere. The suspension was cooled to 0° C. and 4-sulphamoyl-benzoic acid (500 mg, 2.48 mmoles, as a suspension in 10 mL of dry THF) was added. The resulting mixture was then refluxed for 18 hours. The reaction was quenched by addition of 3N HCl at 0° C. The quenched mixture was extracted with AcOEt, the organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated to dryness. The crude material was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, petroleum ether/AcOEt from 9/1 to 1/1) to yield the title compound in amount of 105 mg.
