Hydrochloric Acid → Sulfamic acid 2-[3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenoxy]ethyl ester monohydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of sulfamoyl chloride (0.0275 mole) in 60 ml of acetonitrile was treated dropwise with a solution of 5.1 g (0.025 mole) of 2-[3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenoxy]ethanol in 100 ml of acetonitrile. The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature under nitrogen for 20 hr. The mixture was concentrated under vacuum, and the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and dilute potassium carbonate solution. The organic fraction was again concentrated under vacuum to a crystalline residue. This residue was dissolved in warm 95% ethanol and treated with 1 equivalent of anhydrous hydrogen chloride. The solution was chilled and the precipitate was collected and dried to give 4.0 g (50%) of the title compound as a pink powder, mp 149.0°-150.0° C.
