Procedure

To a solution of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-imidazole (90 (20 mmol) in anhydrous THF (200 mL) at 0° C. was added sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 1.2 g, 30 mmol) and stirred for 30 min. Benzenesulfonyl chloride (2.82 mL, 22 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred overnight. After dilution by 100 mL of saturated NaHCO3 solution (aqueous), the reaction mixture was extracted by ethyl acetate (500 mL). The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate 2:1) to give a pale solid. Yield: 54.9%. NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.65 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 7.58 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.43 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 2H), 7.38 (t, J=8.0 Hz, 2H), 7.34-7.36 (m, 4H), 7.12 (d, J=1.5 Hz, 1H). MS (ESI): calculated for C15H11ClN2O2S, 318.0. found 341.0 [M+Na]+.
