Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-(hydroxymethyl)benzenesulfonamide (307 mg, 1.64 mmol) in acetone (16 mL) was added to a round bottom flask containing MnO2 (1.43 g, 16.4 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 50 hours until the starting material was consumed, then filtered though a pad of celite. The filtrate was evaporated to afford the product (232 mg, 76%) as a white solid.
