Pyridine → N-(3-bromo-4-methylphenyl)-N-(2,2-diethoxyethyl)benzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen stream, benzenesulfonyl chloride (3.12 mL g, 24.48 mmol) was added dropwise under ice cooling to a mixture of (3-bromo-4-methylphenyl)-(2,2-diethoxyethyl)-amine (4.91 g, 16.25 mmol), pyridine (10.1 mL, 124.88 mmol) and dichloromethane (41 mL), and the resultant mixture was then stirred at the same temperature for 1 hour. After stirring at room temperature for 2 hours, the reaction mixture was added to saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate. The resultant mixture was extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed with 5% aqueous hydrochloric acid and dried (anhydrous potassium carbonate). Solvent was then removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (developing solution=ethyl acetate:n-hexane (1:4)), to thereby obtain the titled compound (5.94 g, 83%).
