Methanol → Methyl 4-sulphamoylbenzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 4-(aminosulfonyl)benzoic acid (500 mg, 2.5 mmol) in MeOH (2 ml) at 0° C. is added thionylchloride (0.2 ml, 7.4 mmol). The reaction mixture is stirred at rt overnight. When TLC confirms the total consumption of the starting acid, the solvent and excess thionyl chloride are removed under reduced pressure to afford 400 mg (75%) of the title compound, which was used in the next step without any further purification. LC/MS: (ES+):215.9, (ES−):214.1.
