Ammonia → 2,6-Dichlorobenzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,6-dichlorobenzenesulfonyl chloride (10.50 g, 42.77 mmol) in 100 mL of pyridine was added dropwise to 100 mL of pyridine while anhydrous ammonia gas was bubbled through the solution. After 4 hours at 0° C., the mixture was acidified to pH>1 with 6N aq. HCl, then extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was then dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated to give the desired product (8.69 g, 90%). EI-MS (m/z) 225.0, 227.1 (M−).
