Benzoic acid, 2-(isocyanatosulfonyl)-, methyl ester → Methyl 2-[(4-methoxy-6-methyl-pyrimidin-2-yl)carbamoylsulfamoyl]benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of 1.4 g of 2-amino-4-methoxy-6-methylpyrimidine in 30 ml of anhydrous methylene chloride was added at ambient temperature 2.4 g of 2-methoxycarbonylbenzenesulfonylisocyanate. After stirring for 16 hours, the foregoing mixture was filtered to remove unreacted amine, and the filtrate evaporated at temperatures up to 40° and reduced pressure. The resultant residue was stirred in 25 ml of water, the pH adjusted to 10 by the addition of 50% sodium hydroxide and the solution filtered. Acidification of the filtrate to pH 3 with hydrochloric acid caused precipitation of the desired product which was removed by filtration and dried to yield 0.8 g of product melting at 173°-179°. It showed infrared absorption peaks at 1720, 1680, 1630 and 1550 cm-1, consistent for N-[(4-methoxy-6-methylpyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-2-methoxycarbonylbenzenesulfonamide.
