Methanesulfonic Acid → Imazosulfuron

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 30 ml of acetonitrile are dissolved 2.32 g (0.01 mole) of 2-chloroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-sulfonamide and 2.02 g (0.02 mole) of triethylamine, followed by addition of 1.60 g (0.01 mole) of phenyl chloroformate with stirring at 10° to 20° C. The mixture is further stirred at 20° to 25° C. for 30 minutes, and to the mixture are added 1.00 g (0.010 mole) of methanesulfonic acid and then 1.55 g (0.01 mole) of 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine. The mixture is stirred at 60° C. for 15 minutes. After cooling, the crystals which separates out are collected by filtration and washed with water 3 times with 10 ml of water each. The crystals were then dried in vacuo over P2O5 to give 3.42 g (yield 83.0%) of the title compound.
