Sulfuric Acid → 4-Benzylaminesulfonic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

p-Sulfobenzylamine was synthesized in 40% yield from benzylamine and fuming sulfuric acid, by an adaptation of the method described in Jacobson et al., J. Med. Chem., 35, 4143-4149 (1992), and was recrystallized from a solution in ammonium hydroxide, upon neutralization with hydrochloric acid. NMR DMSO, d6 δ8.10 (br.s, 3H, NH3+), 7.62 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 2H, o- to sulfo), 7.38 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 2H, m- to sulfo), 4.02 (s, 2H, CH2).
