Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

o-Anisidine (377 mg, 3.0 mmol) was dissolved in toluene (10 ml) to which were subsequently added pyridine (0.48 ml, 6.0 mmol) and 3-pyridinesulfonylchloride hydrochloride (642 mg, 3.0 mmol) at room temperature. After 1.5 hours of stirring at 100° C., the resulting reaction solution was mixed with water (20 ml), adjusted to pH 7 to 8 with anhydrous sodium carbonate, extracted with ethyl acetate and then washed with water and saturated brine. After drying on anhydrous sodium carbonate and removing the solvent by evaporation, the resulting orange solid was purified by a silica gel column chromatography (ether:hexane=3:1) to obtain a light orange solid which was subsequently washed with an ether-hexane (1:3) mixture solution to obtain 662 mg (83.5%) of the title compound in the form of colorless prism crystals.
