3-ethylsulfonylaniline

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

Procedure: 3-Isopropylsulfonylaniline was synthesized in analogy to 3-ethylsulfonylaniline starting with 3-(isopropylsulfonyl)-benzene.

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

Procedure: 1-(Ethylsulfonyl)-3-nitro-benzene (1.9 g; 9 mmol) was dissolved in 80 mL of methanol then 1 g of Raney-Nickel is added and the mixture treated with hydrogen gas. The reaction mixture was subsequently filtered and concentrated to yield 1.5 g (8.1 mmol; yield=93%) of an yellow oil.
