Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-iodo-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzenamine (11.0 g, 0.0382 mol), pyridine (40 ml), methanesulfonylchloride (5.3 g, 0.046 mol) and DMAP (0.46 g, 0.0038 mol) in a 100 ml RB flask was heated slowly to 105° C. and maintained the same temperature for over night. The reaction mixture was concentrated to remove the pyridine. The crude product obtained was purified by column chromatography using 10% ethyl acetate in pet ether as eluent to get N-(2-iodo-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)methanesulfonamide (4.5 g, 32%) as white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 3.08 (s, 3H), 6.88 (bs, 1H), 7.65 (d, 1H), 7.75 (d, 1H), 8.07 (s, 1H).
