2-(4-Chlorophenyl)ethane-1-sulfonyl chloride → 2-[2-(4-Chloro-phenyl)-ethanesulfonylamino]-5-methoxy-benzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-5-methoxy-benzenesulfonamide (4.0 g, 19.80 mmol) in pyridine (60 mL), 2-(4-chloro-phenyl)-ethanesulfonyl chloride (4.73 g, 19.79 mmol) was added slowly at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 16 h and then concentrated under reduced pressure at 35° C. The residue was then partitioned between ethyl acetate and 1N HCl. The organic layer was separated, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography using ethyl acetate/hexane (1:1) to give the title compound (7.1 g, 88%).
