Pyridine → 3-(3-Chloro-propane-1-sulfonylamino)-5-methylsulfanyl-benzoic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-amino-5-methylsulfanyl-benzoic acid methyl ester hydrochloride (D62) (130 mg, 0.556 mmol, 1 equiv) in CH2Cl2 (2 ml) was added pyridine (142 ml, 1.75 mmol, 3 equiv), DMAP (6.8 mg, 0.056 mmol, 0.1 equiv) and then 3-chloropropane sulfonyl chloride (71 μl, 0.584 mmol, 1.05 equiv) dropwise over 2 min. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h, diluted with AcOEt, washed sequentially with 2N aqueous HCl solution, saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution and brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to give 3-(3-chloropropane-1-sulfonylamino)-5-methylsulfanyl-benzoic acid methyl ester (D66) (196 mg, 104%) as light brown crystals.
