Thionyl Chloride → 4-Phenylethynyl-N-(2-sulfamoylphenyl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A benzene (30 ml) solution containing 3.00 g (13.5 mmol) of 4-phenylethynylbenzoic acid and 2 ml of thionyl chloride was heated under reflux for 2 hours and then the solvent was evaporated under a reduced pressure. The resulting residue was dissolved in methylene chloride (30 ml), this solution was added dropwise under ice-cooling to a pyridine (50 ml) solution containing 2.32 g (13.50 mmol) of 2-aminobenzenesulfonamide, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours and then methylene chloride was evaporated under a reduced pressure. The resulting residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate, washed with a 1 N hydrochloric acid aqueous solution, water and saturated brine in that order and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then the solvent was evaporated under a reduced pressure. The resulting residue was recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane to obtain 4.00 g (yield: 78.7%) of the title compound.
