Dimethylformamide → 4-(4-Fluorophenoxy)benzenesulphonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a slurry of 15.0 g (0.052 mol) of 4-(4-fluorophenoxy)benzenesulfonic acid□, sodium salt, in 150 mL of dry toluene was added 11.3 mL (0.155 mol, 3 equivalents) of thionyl chloride and 0.04 mL (0.5 mmol, 0.01 equivalents) of dimethylformamide. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 48 hours, filtered through diatomaceous earth, and concentrated under reduced pressure to 40 mL. This solution was used without further purification to prepare 1-[4-(4-fluorophenoxy)benzenesulfonylamino] cyclopentanecarboxylic acid benzyl ester.
