6-Chloro-2-fluoro-3-(propane-1-sulfonamido)benzoic acid → 2-Fluoro-3-(propylsulfonamido)benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 6-chloro-2-fluoro-3-(propane-1-sulfonylamino)-benzoic acid (18, 0.69 g, 2.3 mmol) in 10 mL of methanol, 20% palladium hydroxide on carbon (200 mg) was added. The reaction was stirred under hydrogen at 50 psi for 2 hours. The reaction was filtered and the filtrate concentrated under vacuum to give the desired compound (19) as a white solid that was used in the next step without further purification. MS(ESI) [M−H−]−=260.1.
