Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 3-(chlorosulfonyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (1 g, 3.3 mmol, Buttpark Ltd.) and DIPEA (641 mg, 866 μL, 4.96 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (4 mL) was added dropwise a solution of thiomorpholine 1,1-dioxide (447 mg, 3.3 mmol, CAS RN 39093-93-1) in CH2Cl2 (4.00 mL). After 90 minutes the suspension was poured on saturated aqueous NH4Cl solution and CH2Cl2 and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted twice with CH2Cl2. The organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated. The compound was purified by silica gel chromatography on a 50 g column using an MPLC (Flasmaster) system eluting with a gradient of n-heptane:EtOAc (100:0 to 80:20). Light brown solid (0.99 g; 74%). MS (ESI): m/z=419.05 [M+NH4]+.
