Hydrochloric Acid → N-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-3-methoxybenzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 2,4-difluoro-phenylamine (42, 0.44 mL, 4.4 mmol) in methylene chloride (10.0 mL), under an atmosphere of nitrogen, were added pyridine (1.00 mL, 12.4 mmol) and 3-methoxy-benzenesulfonyl chloride (1.00 g, 4.84 mmol). After 12 hours, the reaction was poured into cold 1 M HCl and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with 20% ethyl acetate in hexane to give light yellow solid (91, 0.90 g, 69%). MS (ESI) [M+H+]+=300.
