Pyridine → 5-bromo-4-chloro-2-fluoro-N-methyl-N-pyridin-2-yl-benzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 5-bromo-4-chloro-2-fluorobenzenesulfonyl chloride (1.5 g, 4.89 mmol) in dry DCM (15 mL), at −20° C. was added pyridine (1.98 mL, 24.5 mmol) followed by methyl-pyridin-2-yl-amine (1.06 g, 9.78 mmol). The mixture was allowed to warm slowly to ambient temperature over 16 hrs. 1N NaOH solution (5 mL) was added and stirred for 15 mins. The mixture was extracted with DCM and the organics were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and the filtrate evaporated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography [eluent: 10% ethyl acetate in hexane] to give 5-bromo-4-chloro-2-fluoro-N-methyl-N-pyridin-2-yl-benzenesulfonamide as an oil (0.57 g, 31%). MS: 380.9 (M+H)+; tR=2.80 min (method 1).
