Pyridine → 5-Morpholinosulfonamido-1-naphthol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4.8 g. of 5-amino-1-naphthol in 210 ml. of acetonitrile were added 2.5 ml. of pyridine and a mixture of 75 ml. of acetonitrile and 5.6 g. of morpholinosulfonyl chloride was added dropwise thereto under stirring and ice-cooling. Stirring was continued at room temperature for 2 hours and reaction was conducted at 40° C. for 1 hour. The mixture was concentrated and the residue was added to about 150 ml. of water containing 3 ml. of conc. hydrochloric acid. The precipitate thus separated was recovered by filtration, washed with water and then dried to give 6.7 g. of the desired product with m.p. 220°-223° C. (with dec.).
