Pyrrolidine → 4-(Pyrrolidine-1-sulfonyl)benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-chlorosulfonylbenzoic acid (2 g, 9.07 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL) was added a solution of pyrrolidine (1.29 g, 1.51 mL, 18.1 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered and the white solid obtained was washed with water (50 ml) and diethyl ether (10 ml) and dried under vacuum to give 4-pyrrolidin-1-ylsulfonylbenzoic acid (700 mg, 30%). ESI-MS m/z calc. 255.0. Found 256.3 (M+1)+; Retention time: 1.18 minutes (3 min run); 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO) δ 13.49 (s, 1H), 8.15 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 2H), 7.92 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 2H), 3.17 (t, J=6.7 Hz, 4H), 1.65 (t, J=6.7 Hz, 4H).
