Methanesulfonyl chloride → HCID 12848748, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Combine methyl 2-methoxy-5-aminobenzoate (1.5 g, 8.3 mmol) and dichloromethane (25 mL). Cool in an ice bath. Add N,N-diisopropylethylamine (3.17 mL, 18.2 mmol) and methanesulfonyl chloride (0.71 mL, 9.1 mmol). After 30 minutes, warm to ambient temperature. After 4 hours, dilute the reaction mixture with dichloromethane and extract three times with a 1 aqueous hydrochloric acid solution and then brine. Dry the organic layer over Na2SO4, filter, and evaporate in vacuo to give a residue. Chromatograph the residue on silica gel eluting with 3% methanol/dichloromethane/0.1% concentrated aqueous ammonia to give methyl 2-methoxy-5-methylsulfonamidobenzoate: mp; 82-83° C. Elemental Analysis calculated for C10H13NO5S: C, 46.32; H, 5.05; N, 5.40. Found C, 46.44; H, 4.96; N, 5.19.
