2-Chloro-p-toluidine-5-sulfonic acid → HCID 9802203, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Amino-4-chloro-5-methyl-benzenesulfonic acid (665 mg, 3.0 mmol) was suspended in 30 ml dry THF and 1-bromo-3-isocyanato-benzene (624 mg, 3.15 mmol) was added. Upon addition of triethylamine (354 mg, 3.15 mmol) the suspension cleared and became a solution. The solution was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (150 ml) and washed with diluted aqueous hydrochloric acid. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulphate and reduced to dryness under vacuum. The title compound was recrystallised from ethyl acetate/heptane to give 820 mg (65%) of white crystals (m.p. 275° C.; decomposition).
