Potassium Carbonate → HCID 68289577, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-formyl-benzoic acid methyl ester (2.50 g), 1-(1-isocyano-ethanesulfonyl)-4-methyl-benzene (3.19 g), and potassium carbonate (2.76 g) in methanol (50 mL) is heated to reflux for 2 h. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture is poured onto water and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic phase is washed with water, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is chromatographed on silica gel (dichloromethane/methanol 40:1) to afford the title compound. LC (method 6): tR=2.68 min; Mass spectrum (ESI+): m/z=218 [M+H]+.
