Pyridine → HCID 22125701, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Pyridine (4.25 ml, 52.1 mmol) and trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (4.4 ml, 26.1 mmol) were added to a solution of 5-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-6-hydroxy-2-naphthalenesulfonamide (3.0 g, 8.7 mmol), [prepared as described in step 1 above], in methylene chloride (50 ml) at 0° C. After 0.5 h, 1N sodium bisulfate was added and the stirring was continued for an additional 30 minutes. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, and dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed in vacuo to give 3.1 g of 5-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-6-trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy-2-naphthalenesulfonamide as an oil (75% yield).
