Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 4-acetamido-3-chlorobenzene-1-sulfonyl chloride (0.96 g, 3.58 mmol) in a dimethylamine solution (2M in MeOH, 5.37 mL, 10.7 mmol) was stirred at room temperature for 2.5 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was then redissolved in MeOH (17.9 mL). A 1M HCl solution in MeOH (5.37 mL, 5.37 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was refluxed for 6 hours before being concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified via Biotage silica gel column chromatography eluting with (cyclohexane/EtOAc 80/20 to 60/40) to afford the title product as a white solid (133 mg, 16%). 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) d 2.70 (s, 6H), 4.54 (br s, 2H), 6.83 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 1H), 7.48 (dd, J=8.5, 2.1 Hz, 1H), 7.70 (d, J=2.1 Hz, 1H).
