Participants

Reaction Steps

To 2-Fluoro-5-(propane-1-sulfonylamino)-benzoic acid (669, 2.0 g, 0.0076 mol) in methanol (20.0 mL) was added sulfuric acid (0.90 mL, 0.017 mol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction was concentrated and purified with silica gel column chromatograph eluting with 20% ethyl acetate in hexane to give a white solid (670, 1.27 g, 62%). MS (ESI) [M−H+]−=274.1.
