Triethylamine → 4-(Pyridin-3-ylsulfamoylmethyl)benzoic Acid Methyl Ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-chlorosulfonylmethylbenzoic acid methyl ester (435 mg, 1.75 mmol) and 3-aminopyridine (170 mg, 1.81 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (10 mL) at 0° C. was added triethylamine (488 μL, 3.50 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with CHCl3, and the mixture was washed with water and brine. The organic layer was dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated under reduced pressure to give the crude product which was purified by MPLC on silica gel (3% MeOH in EtOAc) to afford the titled compound (434 mg, 81%) as a white solid.
