Ethanesulfonyl chloride → 8-(Ethylsulfonylamino)octanoic acid

A solution of ethanesulfonyl chloride (1.5 ml, 15.7 mmol) in dioxane (5 ml) was added to a solution of 8-aminooctanoic acid (1 g, 6.28 mmol) in 1N NaOH (22 ml) and dioxane (5 ml), while stirring at 0° C.-5° C. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 3.5 minutes. During this period, at 1 hour intervals, the pH was adjusted to 7-8 by addition of 25% NaOH solution. The reaction mixture was washed with diethyl ether (30 ml). The pH was adjusted to 1-2 by addition of 1N HCl and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (70 ml). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was triturated with a mixture of diethyl ether. The solid was collected by filtration and dried under vacuum affording 600 mg of the title compound (38% yield).
