Thionyl Chloride → 4-(4-Fluorophenoxy)benzenesulphonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

The sulphonic acid intermediate (2b) was then dissolved in an excess of thionyl chloride, a catalytic amount of DMF (few drops) was added, and the resulting mixture was stirred for 6 h at reflux. The solvent was evaporated and the residue dissolved in Et2O (40 mL). The ether solution was washed with 5% aqueous NaOH (3×40 mL) and water (6×40 mL), dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. After drying in high vacuum overnight, the pure product was obtained as a white solid. Yield: 1.04 g, 3.63 mmol, 72% (white solid). 1H-NMR (CDCl3): δ 7.99 (d, 3J=9.1 Hz, 2H, ArH), 7.19-7.02 (m, 6H, ArH).
