Ammonia → pyridine-3-sulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of pyridine-3-sulphonyl chloride (1 g, 5.6 mmol, 1 eq, commercially available from Davos) in THF (5 mL) is added ammonia in dioxane (23.9 mL, 2 M, 47.9 mmol, 8.5 eq). The resulting suspension is stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The solvent is removed and the residue is taken up in DCM. The organic phase is washed with a saturated aqueous solution of NH4Cl then brine and the DCM is removed under reduced pressure to afford, after drying under vacuum at 40° C., 637 mg (71%) of the title compound as a yellowish powder. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 9.20-8.90 (m, 1H), 8.85-8.75 (m, 1H), 8.40-8.05 (m, 1H), 7.80-7.40 (m, 3H).
