Chlorosulfonic acid → 4-[4-(1,3-Dioxo-1,3-dihydroisoindol-2-yl)butyl]benzenesulfonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(4-Phenylbutyl)isoindole-1,3-dione 12 (1.9 g, 6.8 mmol) was added to chlorosulfonic acid (10 mL, 138 mmol) at 0° C. and the mixture was stirred for 1 h at the temperature. After storing in refrigerator at −5° C. overnight, the reaction mixture was poured onto crushed ice (100 g) and precipitates were collected by a suction filtration and dried under high vacuum to afford the desired product 13 (2.48 g, 99% yield). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.70 (m, 4H), 2.78 (m, 2H), 3.70 (m, 2H), 7.40 (d, 2H) 7.70 (d, 2H), 7.85 (d, 2H), 7.95 (d, 2H).
