Benzenesulfonyl chloride → N-Benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl-benzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Benzenesulfonyl chloride (0.661 mL, 5.15 mmol) was added to a solution of compound 1-C (0.87 g, 4.69 mmol) in pyridine (10 mL) at 0° C. The ice bath was removed and the solution was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 h. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo, and the residue was partitioned between 2N HCl and dichloromethane. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and the solvent evaporated in vacuo. The residue was pre-absorbed on silica gel and purified by flash column chromatography, eluting with a gradient of ethyl acetate (10-50%) in heptane, to afford compound 1-D as a colorless solid (1.19 g, 88%). 1H-NMR (CDCl3): δ 6.96 (s, 1H), 7.25-7.34 (m, 2H), 7.44-7.49 (m, 2H), 7.55-7.66 (m, 3H), 7.84-7.88 (m, 2H); MS: m/z 290.1 (MH+).
