N-Methylcyclohexylamine → 3-(Cyclohexyl-methyl-sulfamoyl)-4-methoxy-benzoic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl 3-(chlorosulfonyl)-4-methoxybenzoate (2.0 g, 7.56 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (1.94 ml, 11.34 mmol) in DCM (50 ml) is treated with N-methyl cyclohexylamine (0.70 ml, 9.07 mmol) at 0° C. The solution is stirred at room temperature for 3 hours and N-methyl cyclohexylamine (0.70 ml, 9.07 mmol) is added. The solution is partitioned between DCM (250 ml) and 0.5 N HCl (100 ml). The organic layer is washed with 0.5 N HCl (2×100 ml), sat. aq. NaHCO3 (2×100 ml) and water (100 ml), dried over MgSO4, and the solvent removed in vacuo to yield a yellow oil. Crystallisation (iPr2O/EtOAc) yields 3-(Cyclohexyl-methyl-sulfamoyl)-4-m ethoxy-benzoic acid methyl ester as yellow crystals; [M+H] 342.
