Pyridine → N-[2-(4-Benzylpiperazin-1-yl)phenyl]methanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a round-bottomed flask equipped with magnetic stirring was added 2-[4-benzylpiperazinyl]phenylamine (34 g, 127 mmol) in ClCH2CH2Cl (100 mL) and pyridine (12 mL, 140 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 5 min. To the reaction was added methanesulfonyl chloride (Aldrich) (11 mL, 139 mmol), and the reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 18 h. After cooling to RT a satd soln of NaHCO3 (50 mL) was added. The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2 (2×50 mL). All organic fractions were combined, washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford the sulfonamide as yellow oil (42 g). MS (ESI, pos. Ion) m/z: 346 (M+H); MS (ESI, neg. Ion) m/z: 344 (M−H). Calc'd for C18H23N3O2S: 345.15.
