Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2,5-Diaminobenzenesulfonamide (11.16 g, 59.61 mmol) was dissolved in acetonitrile (300 mL) and pyridine (7.07 g, 89.41 mmol) was added. Methanesulfonyl chloride (7.17 g, 62.59 mmol) was added dropwise over a period of 10 min and the reaction mixture was stirred for 16 h at 25° C. after which time a precipitate had formed. Most of the acetonitrile was removed in vacuo and water (200 mL) was added to afford a clear solution. The product slowly started to precipitate and the mixture was placed in an ice bath for 3 h. The precipitate was collected by vacuum filtration and dried under high vacuum to afford the desired product, 2-amino-5-methanesulfonylamino-benzenesulfonamide (11.1 g, 41.84 mmol, 70.2% yield) as a brown solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ: 2.89 (3H, s), 6.82 (1H, d, J=8.5 Hz), 7.20 (1H, dd, J1=8.5 Hz, J2=2.5 Hz), 7.58 (1H, d, J=2.5 Hz). LC-MS (ESI) calcd for C7H11N3O4S2 265.02, found 266.0 [M+H+].
