Definition

ChEBI: 4-chloro-N-[(2S,6R)-2,6-dimethyl-1-piperidinyl]-3-sulfamoylbenzamide is a sulfonamide.

Manufacturing Process

To a solution of 5.5 g of 3-chlorsulfonyl-4-chlorobenzoylchloride in 20 ml chlorobenzole 3.3 g of 1-amino-cis-2,6-dimethylpiperidin-hydrochloride slowly was added at room temperature. Reaction mixture was heated to 100°-105°C during 8 h, then it was cooled to room temperature. The precipitated crystals of N-[cis-2,6-dimethyl-piperidyl-(1)]-3-chlorsulfonyl-4-chlorobenzoylamide were filtered and dried at 100°C under vacuo, then was treated by ammonium at room temperature. The obtained product was chromatographed (aluminum oxide; eluent: chloroform-methanol 9:1 and methanol-ether) to give N-[cis- 2,6-dimethylpiperidyl-(1)]-3-sulfamyl-4-chlorbenzoylamide, melting point 235°-237°C.
