Sodium Hydroxide → 3-Phenyl-3-(2,4,6-trichlorobenzenesulphonamido)propionic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.15 g of 3-amino-3-phenylpropionic acid are dissolved in 25 ml of dioxane and 7 ml of 1N sodium hydroxide and 1.95 g of 2,4,6-trichlorobenzenesulphonyl chloride in 5 ml of dioxane are gradually added, while maintaining the pH at 10.5-11 by addition of 1N sodium hydroxide. After stirring for 2 hours at RT, the mixture is diluted with 100 ml of water, extracted twice with EtOAc and acidified to pH=2 by addition of 6N HCl The solid formed is drained, washed with water and dried at 40° C. 2.09 g of the expected product are obtained, m.p.=218-219° C.
