Methylamine → 5-fluoro-N-methyl-2-nitrobenzene-1-sulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-fluoro-2-nitrobenzene-1-sulfonyl chloride (2.0 g, 8.35 mmol) in dichloromethane (50 mL) was cooled using an ice water bath. 2M methylamine in tetrahydrofuran (5.0 mL, 10.0 mmol) was added. The resulting solution was stirred for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was washed with 2N HCl solution (2×100 mL), brine (100 mL) and then dried over magnesium sulphate. The solution was filtered before concentrating under reduced pressure to afford 5-fluoro-N-methyl-2-nitrobenzenesulfonamide (1.79 g, 7.64 mmol).
