2-Chloro-5-((4-fluoro-phenyl)-hydroxy-methyl)-benzenesulfonamide → 2-Chloro-5-(4-fluoro-benzoyl)-benzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 65 mg of 2-chloro-5-((4-fluoro-phenyl)-hydroxy-methyl)-benzenesulfonamide in 1 mL of acetone is stirred at room temperature as 0.2 mL of 3 M Jones' reagent is added. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes then diluted with ethyl acetate, filtered through celite, the filtrate is concentrated in vacuo. The crude product is purified by silica gel chromatography to give 48 mg of the title compound as white foam. 1H NMR (CDCl3): 5.15 (br, 2H), 7.12-7.30 (m, 3H), 7.70 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 7.80-7.90 (m, 2H), 7.90-8.0 (dd, 1H), 8.5 (d, J=2 Hz, 1H). MS (m/z): 312 (M−1).
