3,4-Dimethylaniline → 4-chloro-N-(3,4-dimethyl-phenyl)-3-nitro-benzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-chloro-3-nitro-benzenesulfonyl chloride (0.51 g) in pyridine (2 mL) were added 3,4-dimethylaniline and dimethylaminopyridine (0.024 g). The reaction mixture was stirred overnight, concentrated under reduced pressure, and diluted with CH2Cl2. The mixture was washed with water, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, 1:3 EtOAc/Hexane) to give 4-chloro-N-(3,4-dimethyl-phenyl)-3-nitro-benzenesulfonamide.
