Ammonium Hydroxide → 5-fluoro-2-methylbenzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-fluoro-2-methyl-benzenesulfonyl chloride (4.18 g, 20 mmol) in acetone (20 mL) was added, dropwise, concentrated NH4OH (3 mL) and the resulting mixture stirred for 5 min. Acetone was removed in vacuo and the precipitates were filtered, washed thoroughly with water and dried in vacuo to provide 3.7 g (Yield 98%) of the title compound as a white solid; 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-D6) δ ppm: 2.55 (3 H, s) 7.33-7.40 (1 H, m) 7.40-7.46 (1 H, m) 7.54 (2 H, s) 7.59 (1 H, dd, J=9.2, 2.7 Hz); LC/MS m/z 190 (M+H).
