Hydrochloric Acid → 2-Acetyl-6-chloro-3-nitrobenzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,6-dichloro-3-nitrobenzenesulfonamide (2.04 g, 7.5 mmol), potassium acetate (2.21 g, 22.5 mmol) and 18-crown-6 (5.95 g, 22.5 mmol) in 50 mL of dimethyl sulfoxide was heated to 45° C., for 7 days. The mixture was acidified with 1N aq. HCl, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was concentrated to give the crude material. Column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with ethyl acetate/hexane/acetic acid (50/49/1, v/v/v) gave the desired product (1.67 g, 76%). EI-MS (m/z) 293.1, 295.1 (M−).
