Ammonia → 2-(4-Nitrophenylamino)ethanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-[(4-Nitrophenyl)amino]ethanesulfonyl chloride (9) (0.5 g) was mixed with 4 mL of aqueous ammonia (22%) at room temperature. The mixture was left for 1 hour and the precipitate that formed was then filtered off by suction and reslurried in water. The crude product was recrystallized from ethanol to give 0.23 g of expected product with a melting point of 170° C. The results of the elemental analysis were as follows:
