Chlorosulfonic acid → 4-Amino-3-bromo-5-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Amino-3-bromo-5-nitrobenzenesulfonamide ((U.S. Pat. No. 3,987,199) 1 g, 3.17 mmol) was heated at 95° C. for 3 h in chlorosulfonic acid (10 mL). The solution was cooled then poured onto ice and then filtered. The solid was redissolved in DCM and dried over sodium sulfate. Removal of the solvent yielded the product (960 mg) which was used without further purification.
