Chlorosulfonic acid → 3-(Pyrrolidin-1-YL)benzene-1-sulfonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

1-phenylpyrrolidine (4.3 g, 29.25 mmol) was added dropwise to sulfurochloridic acid (20 mL) at 0° C. and the resulting solution was then maintained at 60° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was then quenched by adding 200 mL of ice/salt. The resulting solution was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×100 mL), and the organic layers were combined, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography using a 1:500 ethyl acetate/petroleum ether solvent system. The collected fractions were combined and concentrated to give 0.5 g (7%) of 3-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)benzene-1-sulfonyl chloride as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.36 (m, 1H), 7.24 (d, 1H), 7.07 (s, 1H), 6.82 (d, 1H), 3.34 (t, 4H), 2.05 (t, 4H).
