Benzyl Bromide → 3-[Benzyl-(pyridine-3-sulfonyl)-amino]-benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-(Pyridine-3-sulfonylamino)-benzoic acid tert-butyl ester (99 mg, 0.3 mmol), benzyl bromide (39 μL, 0.32 mmol) and Cesium Carbonate (145 mg, 0.4 mmol) in dimethylformamide (5 ml) was stirred for 16 hrs. The reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate (50 ml) and washed with water (6×100 ml). The organic layer was separated, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give a yellow oil. The oil was dissolved in trifluoroacetic acid/dichloromethane (1:5 v/v) (10 ml), stirred for 3 hrs and then concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound as a white solid (58.7 mg). HPLC retention time 4.31 min. Mass spectrum (APCI+) m/z 369 (M+H).
