Methanol → 3-ethynylbenzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under cooling in an ice bath, potassium carbonate (610 mg) was added to a tetrahydrofuran (30 mL) and methanol (70 mL) solution of 3-[(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl]benzenesulfonamide (11.1 g), and the obtained solution was then stirred at a room temperature for 12 hours. Thereafter, water was added to the reaction solution, and the solvent was then distilled away under a reduced pressure. Then, the residue was extracted with diethyl ether. The organic layer was washed with water and a saturated saline, and was then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, followed by vacuum concentration. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel 60N, hexane:ethyl acetate=2:1 to 1:1), so as to obtain the title compound (5.84 g) in the form of a light brown solid.
