Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 3-nitrobenzene-1-sulfonyl chloride (296.9 mg, 1.340 mmol) is added THF (20 mL), aniline (134.8 mg, 1.447 mmol) and potassium carbonate (408.5 mg, 2.955 mmol). The resulting mixture is heated at 50° C. for 16 hours. The reaction mixture is subsequently cooled and concentrated in vacuo after which the residue is treated with 10 ml of H2O and extracted with EtOAc (75 mL). The organic layer is washed with saturated aqueous NaCl (2×75 mL), dried (MgSO4), and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is purified over silica (CH2Cl2) to afford 257 mg (69% yield) of the desired compound. MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 279 (M+1).
