Ethyl bromoacetate → N-[2-(2-Nitro-benzenesulfonylamino)-ethyl]-glycine ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-(2-aminoethyl)-2-nitro-benzenesulfonamide acetic acid salt (15.15 g, 49.6 mmol) and triethylamine (15.16 g, 0.15 mol) in dichloromethane (100 mL) was added ethyl bromoacetate (16.7 g 0.100 mol) with stirring at room temperature. After additional stirring for 1 h, the reaction mixture was washed with brine (100 mL). The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was triturated in ethyl ether (100 mL) to afford the titled compound as a white solid (8.1 g, 49%). 1H-NMR (500 MHz; DMSO-d6) δ 8.02˜7.96 (m, 2H), 7.87˜7.84 (m, 2H), 4.05 (q, 2H), 3.23 (s, 2H), 2.95 (t, 2H), 2.57 (t, 2H) 1.16 (t, 3H).
