Pyridine → Ethyl 3-{[(2,6-difluorophenyl)sulfonyl]amino}-4-fluorobenzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 3-amino-4-fluorobenzoate (5.47 g, 30 mmol) and pyridine (2.55 mL, 33 mmol) in DCM (150 mL) was added 2,6-difluorobenzenesulfonyl chloride (4.45 mL, 33 mmol). The reaction was stirred overnight at rt. After 16 h, the reaction mixture was concentrated, triturated with ether, and dried in vacuo to generate 7.87 g (66% yield) of the product of Step A as a white powder. MS (ESI): 360 (M+H).
