Methanol → Methyl 3-(methylsulfamoyl)benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-(N-methylsulfamoyl)benzoic acid (200 mg, 0.929 mmol) was refluxed in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid (6.01 mg, 0.046 mmol) in methanol at 70° C. for overnight. Reaction was monitored by TLC. After completion of the reaction, the solvent was removed by vacuum and then compound was purified by flash chromatography afforded the methyl 3-(N-methylsulfamoyl)benzoate (120 mg, 0.497 mmol, 53.5% yield). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ 8.51 (m, 1H), 8.25 (m, 1H), 8.06 (dt, 1H, J=1.2 & 8.0 Hz), 7.63 (t, 1H, J=7.6 Hz), 3.96 (s, 3H), 2.69 (s, 3H). Mass [M+H]+:230.1
