Pyridine → 3-chloro-N-(2.3-dimethyl-quinoxalin-6-yl)-2-methyl-benzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-chloro-2-methylbenzenesulphonyl chloride (109 mg, 0.485 mmol) in dichloromethane (3 mL) was added pyridine (90 μL, 1.2 mmol) and the mixture was stirred under N2 for 5 min, after which time 6-amino-2,3-dimethylquinoxaline [22] (80 mg, 0.46 mmol) was added. The resulting mixture was stirred for 6 h at room temperature, then saturated NaHCO3 solution (8 mL) was added and the mixture was extracted into ethyl acetate (15 mL). The organic phase was washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated to give a residue that was purified using flash chromatography to afford an off-white solid (152 mg, 91%), single spot at Rf 0.70 (ethyl acetate). mp 225.3-225.7° C. HPLC purity 99+% (tR 2.29 min in 10% water-acetonitrile). 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 7.99 (1H, d, 4=7.9. Hz), 7.85 (1H, d, J=9.2 Hz), 7.54-7.52 (2H, m), 7.40 (1H, dd, J=9.1, 2.6 Hz), 7.21 (1H, t, J=7.9 Hz), 6.95 (1H, s, N—H, 2.75 (3H, s), 2.67 (6H, s). LCMS: 360.24 (M−). FAB-MS (MH+, C17H16ClN3O2S): calcd 362.0730, found 362.0732.
