2-Methoxyethanol → HCID 20187142, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

4.36 g of a 55% dispersion of sodium in oil is added in portions over 15 minutes and under nitrogen to 25 ml of methyl cellosolve. A solution of 9.6 g of 2-chloro-3-pyridylsulfonamide in 25 ml of methyl cellosolve is then added dropwise, with stirring, to the above dispersion over 5 minutes. The reaction mixture is then stirred for 1 hour at reflux temperature and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is acidified to pH 2 with about 25 ml of aqueous HCl at a temperature below 15° C., then stirred and filtered, affording 11.3 g of the desired 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)-3-pyridylsulfonamide, which is recrystallised from acetonitrile and has a melting point of 102°-103° C.
