Ammonium Hydroxide → 3,5-Difluorobenzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3,5-difluorobenzenesulfonyl chloride (25 g, 0.117 mol) in THF (150 mL) was added 35% aq. NH4OH (120 mL) over 1 h in an ice-bath. After the reaction was complete, it was evaporated in vacuo. To a solution of this residue in water (150 mL) was added 2N HCl (1 mL). After stirring 1 h, the reaction mixture was filtered and dried under high vacuum to give 3,5-difluorobenzenesulfonamide as a light brown solid (19.9 g, 88%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.49-7.44 (m, 2H), 7.04-6.99 (m, 2H).
