Pyridine → N-(5-bromo-2-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)ethanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

At 0° C., ethansulfonylchloride (1.4 g, 10.9 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of 5-bromo-2-fluoro-4-methoxyaniline (3.5 g, 24.0 mmol) in pyridine (1.3 g, 16.4 mmol) and dry CH2Cl2 (20 mL). After stirring at room temperature for 10 h, CH2Cl2 extractive work up and purification by silica gel chromatography (PE:EA=10:0 to 3:1) gave the title compound (2.5 g, 73.5%) as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.77 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 6.73 (d, J=11.6 Hz, 1H), 6.27 (s, 1H), 3.89 (s, 3H), 3.10 (q, J=7.6 Hz, 2H), 1.40 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 3H). LCMS: 334.0 (M+Na)+
