4-Nitroaniline → 4-(Methylsulfonamido)aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of pyridine (50 mL) and MsCl (15.86 g, 139.13 mmol) in DCM (150 mL) was added the solution of 4-nitrobenzenamine (16.0 g, 115.94 mmol) in pyridine (100 mL) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The volatiles were removed under reduced pressure. The residue was rinsed with water (200 mL×3) and dried under reduced pressure to afford the title compound as a yellow powder (23.20 g, yield 95%).
