4-Nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride → HCID 12669330, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3.00 g (10.6 mmoles) of 2-[(1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-7,8-dimethoxy-2-benzoxepin-1-yl)methoxy]ethanol and 1.63 ml (11.7 mmoles) of triethylamine is added 2.59 g (11.7 mmoles) of p-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and then heated at 50° for 30 minutes. To this is added an additional 0.5 g of p-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride and 0.5 ml of triethylamine. After stirring at room temperature for 30 minutes, the reaction mixture is extracted with aqueous sodium bicarbonate and brine. The organic layer is filtered through sodium sulfate and taken to dryness. The residue is chromatographed on silica gel using 1% methanol methylene chloride as eluant to give 1.56 g (32%) 2-[(1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-7,8-dimethoxy-2-benzoxepin-1-yl)methoxy]ethyl 4-nitrobenzene sulfonate. The nmr spectrum was consistent with the assigned structure.
