Benzyl Bromide → 2-(Benzyloxycarbonyl)-N-[(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]benzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 1.75 g of 2-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-ylaminocarbonylsulfamoyl)benzoic acid was added 0.51 g of triethylamine in 10 ml tetrahydrofuran and 0.88 g of benzyl bromide in 10 ml of tetrahydrofuran. The mixture was heated to reflux for 1.5 hours, filtered and the tetrahydrofuran evaporated in-vacuo. The residue was extracted with hot 1-chlorobutane, diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The organic phase was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and the solvents evaporated in-vacuo. The resultant residue was crystallized from 1-chlorobutane to a melting point of 157°. This product showed absorption peaks in the infrared region at 1720, 1600, 1560 cm-1 consistent for the desired ester and absorption by nuclear magnetic resonance at 2.45', singlet, for CH3 ; 5.3δ singlet, CH2 on benzyl; 6.65' singlet CH of pyrimidine and aryl peaks at 7-8δ.
