Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-chloro-3-(chlorosulfonyl)benzoate (608 mg, 2.26 mmol) and K2CO3 (770 mg, 5.6 mmol) in 10 mL benzene was added a 2M solution of methylamine in THF (5.6 mL, 11.2 mmol). Purification of the product (2:1 hex:EtOAc) provided methyl 2-chloro-3-[(methylamino)sulfonyl]benzoate (430 mg, 72%) as a solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3), δ 8.23 (dd, 1H, J=7.9, 1.7 Hz), 7.90 (dd, 1H, J=7.8, 1.7 Hz), 7.48 (t, 1H, J=7.9 Hz), 5.16 (q, 1H, J=5.2 Hz), 3.94 (s, 3H), 2.62 (d, 3H, J=5.3 Hz); ESI-MS 264 (M+H). Methyl 2-chloro-3-[(methylamino)sulfonyl]benzoate was hydrolyzed using aqueous NaOH to provide 2-chloro-3-[(methylamino)sulfonyl]benzoic acid as a solid, which was used without further purification. ESI-MS 250 (M+H), 272 (M+Na).
