Ethanesulfonyl chloride → N-(2-bromophenyl)ethanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-bromoaniline (344 mg, 2.0 mmol) in pyridine (5 mL) was slowly added ethyl-sulfonyl chloride (257 mg, 2.0 mmol) at rt and the mixture was stirred at rt for 16 hours. The pyridine was removed under reduced pressure and resulting residue diluted with water (30 mL) and extracted with DCM (10 mL×2). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to dryness. The residue was purified by FCC to give the title compound (240 mg, 45%).
