Participants

Reaction Steps

Phenol (1.282 g, 13.63 mmol) in dimethylformamide (20 mL) was treated with 60% sodium hydride (0.545 g, 13.63 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 10 minutes. To this solution was added 4-fluoro-3-nitrobenzenesulfonamide (0.75 g, 3.41 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The aqueous layer was neutralized with 10% HCl and extracted with additional ethyl acetate twice. The combined organic layers were washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (1:1 ethyl acetate/hexanes) on silica gel to give 0.96 g of the title product.
