Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 9968373, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of phenylsulfonamide (0.16 mol; 25.12 g) and potassium carbonate (0.2 mol; 27.6 g) in 500 mL dioxane is added dropwise 2,4-dichlorobenzoyl chloride (0.13 mole; 18.0 mL). The mixture is warmed to reflux under nitrogen for 16 hr. The reaction is then diluted with water (500 mL), neutralized to pH 5 with concentrated hydrochloric acid, and extracted 3 times with ethyl acetate. The combined ethyl acetate layers are washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to a white solid. The solid residue is subjected to silica gel chromatography, eluting with dichloromethane containing from 0–5% methanol. Fractions containing the product are combined and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide the title compound.
