Triethylamine → Methyl 4-(N-(4-methoxybenzyl)sulfamoyl)benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 4-(chlorosulfonyl)benzoate (Example 5-10c) (4 g, 17.09 mmol) in dichloromethane (40 mL) at 0° C. in an ice bath, was added (4-methoxyphenyl)methanamine (2.56 mL, 19.65 mmol) and triethylamine (2.38 mL, 17.1 mmol). The ice bath was then removed and the mixture was allowed to warm to ambient temperature with stirring for an additional 2 hours. Upon completion (monitored by TLC 40% ethyl acetate/hexanes), the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was re-dissolved in ethyl acetate (200 mL), washed with 1N HCl (aq, 20 mL), water (20 mL) and brine (20 mL) then dried over magnesium sulfate. The solution was concentrated and the product purified by re-crystallization with hot ethyl acetate/hexanes to afford pure methyl 4-(N-(4-methoxybenzyl)sulfamoyl)benzoate (4.3 g, 74.8%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ, ppm: 3.67 (s, 3H), 3.78 (s, 3H), 3.93 (s, 2H), 6.78 (m, 2H), 7.09 (m, 2H), 7.87 (m, 2H), 8.08 (m, 2H), 8.25 (br, s, 1H).
