2,6-Lutidine → 2-Chlorobenzenesulfonic acid 1-hydroxynaphthalen-3-yl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

At 0° C. to 1.0 g (6.24 mmol) of 1,3-naphthalenediol in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) containing 1.5 mL of 2,6-lutidine was added 1.35 g (6.40 mmol) of 2-chlorobenzenesulfonyl chloride. The reaction mixture was stirred to ambient temperature overnight, quenched with 3 N hydrochloric acid, extracted into methylene chloride, and dried (MgSO4). Purification by flash chromatography (2% ethyl acetate/methylene chloride) gave 277 mg (13% yield) of the title compound as a colorless solid. 1H-NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 10.75 (s, 1 H), 8.06 (d, 1 H, J=1.7 Hz), 7.78-7.95 (m, 4 H), 7.43-7.57 (m, 3 H), 7.11 (d, 1 H, J=2 Hz), and 6.63 (d, 1 H, J=2 Hz).
