Thionyl Chloride → N-(2-Benzoylphenyl)-4-(2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)benzene-1-sulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 474 mg (2.84 mmol) of 4-bromo-butanoic acid in 6 mL of 5:1 HMPA/acetonitrile was cooled to 0 deg and thionyl chloride (0.207 mL, 2.84 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature, and transferred to a flask containing 250 mg (0.709 mmol) of neat 4-amino-N-(2-benzoylphenyl)benzenesulfonamide. The solution was allowed to stir overnight. The reaction was quenched w/saturated sodium bicarbonate and diluted with EtOAc (˜100 mL), washed with water (3×20 mL) and brine (1×20 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified via flash chromatography (15% to 75% EtOAc/hexanes)to provide the title compound. LC/MS (ES MS, M+H+ found: 457).
