Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To isatin (441 mg, 3 mmol) was added a solution of sodium hydroxide (1.15 g, 29.0 mmol) in water (2.5 mL). The resulting brown precipitate was stirred vigorously at RT for 20 minutes before being heated to 85° C. A solution of N-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)methanesulfonamide (1b) (639 mg, 3.0 mmol) in ethanol/THF/water (6.3 mL/1.25 mL/6.3 mL was then added dropwise over 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was stirred at 85° C. for further 4 h before cooling to RT. All organic solvents were removed in vacuo and the aqueous residue reduced to a volume of approximately 6 mL. The aqueous residue was washed with ether (3×10 mL) and then the aqueous residue were acidified with cooling to pH 4 with acetic acid. The precipitate formed were collected, washed with water and dried to give the title compound as a solid (721 mg, 70.3%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 3.11 (s, 3H), 7.05 (d, 1H), 7.39 (d, 2H), 7.64 (m, 2H), 7.78 (m, 1H), 8.06 (m, 1H), 8.19 (m, 1H), 8.47 (m, 1H), 10.03 (b, 2H). MS APCI, m/z=343 (M+1). LCMS: 1.07 min. before being heated to 85° C The reaction mixture was stirred at 85° C. for further 4 h before cooling to RT All organic solvents were removed in vacuo The aqueous residue was washed with ether (3×10 mL) with cooling to pH 4 with acetic acid The precipitate formed were collected washed with water dried

Procedure: To a solution of 2-amino-1-phenylethanonehydrochloride (1a) (1715 mg, 10 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) was added TEA (2.8 mL, 20 mmol). Upon cooling under ice-water bath, methylsulfonyl chloride (0.77 mL, 10 mmol) was added slowly and the reaction mixture stirred at RT for 12 h. The mixture was partitioned between dichloromethane and brine, dried over sodium sulfate and then concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound (2100 mg, 98%) as an off white solid. MS APCI, m/z=214 (M+1). LCMS: 1.19 min. Upon cooling under ice-water bath The mixture was partitioned between dichloromethane and brine dried over sodium sulfate concentrated in vacuo

Procedure: 2-Aminoacetophenone hydrochloride (6.10 g, 35.5 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (60 mL), and to the solution was added triethylamine (7.56 g, 74.9 mmol). The solution was cooled to 0° C., and to the solution was added methanesulfonyl chloride (2.84 mL, 36.5 mmol). The solution was stirred at the same temperature for 5 minutes, and then at room temperature for 2 hours. To the reaction mixture was added water and 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid, and the mixture was extracted with chloroform. After the organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was suspended in chloroform (5 mL) and the suspension was stirred, and then, the resulted crystals were collected by filtration to obtain 2-(methylsulfonylamino)acetophenone (4.58 g, 57%). at room temperature for 2 hours the mixture was extracted with chloroform After the organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure the suspension was stirred the resulted crystals were collected by filtration
