Methyl iodide → 3,4-dimethoxy-N-[4-(3-nitrophenyl)thiazol-2-yl]-N-(methyl)benzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Anhydrous potassium carbonate (0.204 g, 14.8 mmol), and methyl iodide (0.209 g, 14.8 mmol) were added to a stirred solution of 3,4-dimethoxy-N-(4-(3-nitrophenyl)thiazol-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide (0.250 g, 5.94 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 mL) under a nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature. After 2 h, the solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The crude reaction mixture was subjected to purification by column chromatography on silica gel. Elution with an ethyl acetate-hexane mixture (20:80) gave 3,4-dimethoxy-N-[4-(3-nitrophenyl)thiazol-2-yl]-N-(methyl)benzenesulfonamide (0.175 g) as a white colored solid.
