3-Chloropropanesulphonyl chloride → Methyl 2-(4-(3-chloropropylsulfonamido)phenyl)-2-methoxyacetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-(4-aminophenyl)-2-methoxyacetate (0.6 g, 3.07 mmol) in anhydrous pyridine (6 mL) under argon was added 3-chloropropane-1-sulfonyl chloride (0.5 mL, 4.11 mmol) dropwise. The exothermic reaction was cooled briefly over a cold H2O bath. After stirring for 1 hr, the reaction was diluted with H2O, 1 M HCl and brine and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organics were washed with 1 M HCl, H2O and brine then dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to give methyl 2-(4-(3-chloropropylsulfonamido)phenyl)-2-methoxyacetate as an orange oil (1.03 g, quant. yield). The product was used without further purification.
