Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetonitrile (30 ml) was cooled in ice and concentrated H2SO4 (4.4 ml, 0.083 mol) was added over about 5 minutes. Then 4-(1-hydroxyethyl)-5-(4-methoxyphenylsulfonyl)thiophene-2-sulfonamide (3.13 g, 0.0083 mol) in acetonitrile (20 ml) was added and the solution was stirred at room temperature over the week-end. The reaction was diluted with water (10 ml) and was neutralized with NaHCO3. The suspension was filtered and the solids were washed with acetonitrile. The filtrate and washings were concentrated in vacuo. The residual oil was taken up in ethyl acetate and water. The ethyl acetate was separated, washed with saturated NaCl, dried, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. A white solid foam was obtained, 3.18 g, yield 92%. The structure was supported by NMR analyses.
