Pyridine → 3-cyano-4-fluoro-N-(5-fluoropyridin-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Cyano-4-fluorobenzene-1-sulfonyl chloride (25 g, 114 mmol) was added to a solution of 5-fluoropyridin-2-amine (16.85 g, 150 mmol) and pyridine (23.7 g, 300 mmol) in dichloromethane (500 mL) at room temperature. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. After evaporating the solvent the solid was stirred in diluted aqueous hydrochloric acid (2N, 400 mL) for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered, washed with water (200 mL) and dried under high vacuum to afford the title compound as an orange solid (30.9 g, 98%).
