Methanol → Benzoic acid, 3-(aminosulfonyl)-, methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(aminosulfonyl)benzoic acid (22 g, 0.109 mol) in MeOH (250 ml) is added thionyl chloride (25 ml, 0.328 mol) and the mixture is refluxed for 16 h. The solvent is removed and the residue is diluted with EtOAc (200 ml), washed with a 10% solution of sodium bicarbonate, water and brine. The solvent was removed under vacuum to afford 17 g (73%) of the title compound as a solid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 8.39 (t, J=1.5 Hz, 1H), 8.16-8.13 (m, 1H), 8.09-8.05 (m, 1H), 7.76 (t, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 7.53 (s, 2H), 3.90 (s, 3H). HPLC (max plot) 99%; Rt 1.49 min. LC/MS: (ES+):215.9, (ES−):214.1.
