Ammonium Hydroxide → pyridine-3-sulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 3-pyridinesulfonyl chloride hydrochloride (5.00 g) in acetone (8.5 ml) was added ammonia aqueous solution (28%, 8.5 ml) at 0° C. dropwise and stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The solution was evaporated and poured into water (ca. 10 ml), ethyl acetate (100 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (100 ml). The organic layer was washed with brine twice and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (90 ml) and methanol (10 ml). The combined organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, evaporated and crystallized in hexane and ethyl acetate to give 3-pyridinesulfonamide (3.45 g).
