Trifluoroacetic acid → 2-Amino-2-(4-chlorophenyl)ethanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Tert-butyl 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-sulfamoylethylcarbamate (Intermediate 79) (325 mg, 0.97 mmol) was treated with trifluoroacetic acid (8 mL). The resulting solution was stirred for 15 minutes at room temperature. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by ion exchange chromatography, using an SCX column. The column was washed with methanol and the desired product was eluted using ammonia in methanol (2M) and pure fractions were evaporated to dryness to afford 2-amino-2-(4-chlorophenyl)ethanesulfonamide (221 mg, 97%) as a near colourless solid.
