3-Bromobiphenyl → 3-Phenylbenzene-1-sulfonyl chloride

Temperature

-78 °C

3-Bromobiphenyl (1.5 g, 6.4 mmol) was dissolved in ether (15 ml) and cooled to -78° C. t-Butyllithium (1.7M solution in hexane, 3.8 ml, 6.4 mmol) was added dropwise under constant stirring and an argon atmosphere. The resultant reaction mixture was stirred at -10° C. to -5° C. for 6 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to -78° C. and sulfuryl chloride (0.64 ml, 6.4 mmol) was added dropwise. After the completion of the addition, the reaction mixture was allowed to attain ambient temperature slowly and stirred for 1 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (50 ml), washed with water and the organic layer dried over anhydrous MgSO4. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure gave crude product, which was purified by column chromatography, using hexane followed by 5% ethyl acetate in hexane as eluent, to give 3-biphenylsulfonyl chloride as a oil (0.8 g, 49% yield).
