Methanol → Methyl 4-fluoro-3-(morpholin-4-ylsulfonyl)benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Fluoro-3-(morpholinosulfonyl)benzoic acid (50 mg, 0.173 mmol) was refluxed overnight in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid (1.117 mg, 8.64 μmol) in methanol (8 mL) at 70° C. The reaction was monitored by TLC. After completion of the reaction, the solvent was removed by vacuum and compound was purified by column chromatography affording the title compound (20 mg). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD): δ 8.42 (dd, 1H, J=2.0 & 6.4 Hz), 8.33 (m, 1H), 7.49 (t, 1H, J=8.8 Hz), 3.94 (s, 3H), 3.71 (m, 4H), 3.16 (m, 4H).
