Water → Benzyl 4-sulfamoylbutanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Sulfamoylbutanoic acid (1.00 g, 5.98 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (6.00 mL). To this, cesium carbonate (994 mg, 3.05 mmol) and benzyl bromide (0.711 mL, 5.98 mmol) were added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The reaction was stopped by addition of water, and the organic layer was extracted with dichloromethane, washed with a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated off under reduced pressure, and the residue was subjected to slurry purification using diethyl ether, to give Compound GM (940 mg, yield: 61%).
