Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-aminobenzenesulfonyl azide (0.63 g, 3.2 mmol) in 75 ml ether was added slowly to a solution of 1-methyl-1,4-dihydropyridine (0.30 g, 3.2 mmol) in 75 ml ether with stirring at 25° C. Evolution of nitrogen gas was immediate. The reaction was allowed to proceed for 2 hours and the solvent was removed in vacuo to give 2-methyl-7-[(4-aminophenyl)sulfonyl]-2,7-diazabicyclo[4.1.0]hept-3-ene (0.82 g, 97%) with mp 188-190° . Hydrogenation of 2-methyl-7-[(4-aminophenyl) sulfonyl]-2,7-diazbicyclo[4.1.0]hept-3-ene (33 mg, 0.117 mmol) in 15 ml ethanol was effected using 10% palladium on charcoal (15 mg) and hydrogen gas at 30 psi for 4 hours. Removal of the catalyst by filtration and evaporation of the solvent in vacuo gave 1-methylpiperidylidene-2-(4-aminophenyl)sulfonamide (31 mg, 93%) with mp 186-188° ; IR (KBr) 3480 and 3380 cm-1 (NH2) and 1590 cm-1 (C=N).
