Mesitylene sulfochloride is a chemical compound from the group of sulfonic acid chlorides . It is a spatially demanding aromatic sulfonic acid chloride which, because of its reactivity, serves as a starting compound for mesitylenesulfonyl compounds, which are particularly used as biochemical reagents. In technical terms, mesitylene sulfochloride is also abbreviated as MSCl or Mts-Cl.
presentation
The preparation of mesityl sulfochloride from mesitylene , sulfuryl chloride and aluminum chloride was described as early as 1893.
According to a laboratory procedure, mesitylene sulfochloride is obtained by adding chlorosulfonic acid to mesitylene at temperatures between −15 and 60 ° C and then precipitating the sulfochloride formed by pouring it into ice water and extracting it with dichloromethane . The mesitylene sulfochloride obtained in a crude yield of 80% solidifies to form whitish crystals.
Very high yields (94%) are achieved according to a more recent method in the reaction of the sodium salt of mesitylenesulfonic acid with cyanuric chloride in the presence of the phase transfer catalyst 18-crown-6 in acetone .
properties
Mesitylene sulfochloride is a white to cream-colored hygroscopic solid with an unpleasant, pungent odor that dissolves in water while decomposing. The resulting mesitylenesulfonic acid is highly caustic and corrosive. The substance is readily soluble in a large number of dry organic solvents. For purification, Mts-Cl can be recrystallized from n- hexane or n- pentane .
use
Sulfonamide formation
Mesitylsulfochloride is finding wider application to introduce the mesitylsulfonyl (Mst) protecting group for amino acids and peptides . By reacting with mesitylene sulfochloride, guanidino groups , such as. B. in L-arginine ( protected on the α-amino group with the p-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl group) with the Mst protective group.
The mesitylenesulfonyl protective group can be split off quantitatively using methanesulfonic acid (MSA), trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TFMSA) / hydrogen fluoride and with TFMSA / trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) / thioanisole .
In a similar way, the indole group of the amino acid L-tryptophan can be protected with mesitylene sulfochloride to form the corresponding sulfonamide and deprotected with TFMSA / TFA or methanesulfonic acid.
Sulfonate formation
In the presence of pyridine , primary and secondary hydroxyl groups, e.g. B. be blocked in mono- and oligosaccharides by reaction with mesitylene sulfochloride.
With methyl-α-D-glucopyranoside, yields of 98% of the methyl glucoside which is Mst-disubstituted in the 2,6-position are obtained.
Condensation reactions
Mesitylene sulfochloride has also been used to activate carboxylic acids in the production of esters , such as. B. the linkage of the selectively protected so-called nonactic acid to the dimer
and then to the tetramer , from which the macrotetrolide antibiotic nonactin is formed by ring closure in the presence of silver ions, which has crown ether- like properties.
Nucleotide syntheses
Mesitylene sulfonyl chloride has, despite longer reaction times compared to complex aromatic sulfochlorides, such as. B. 1-mesitylenesulfonyl-3-nitro-triazole (MSNT) or 1- (mesitylsulfonyloxy) -4,6-dinitrobenzotriazole, together with nucleophilic catalysts, such as. B. 3-Nitro-1 H -1,2,4-triazole or 1-hydroxy-4,6-dinitrobenztriazol, advantages in the activation of phosphodiesters for reaction with nucleosides according to the phosphotriester method for the synthesis of oligonucleotides.
Other uses
The reaction of mesitylsulfonyl chloride with nitrogen-containing heteroaromatics is suitable for the production of diarylsulfonamides, which act as specific antagonists for the protein EPAC 2 ( exchange protein directly activated by cAMP ), which as a cAMP mediator controls various biological functions.
The sulfonamide with 2,4-dimethylpyrrole was found to be 133 times more effective than cAMP.
The condensing agent 1- (mesityl-2-sulfonyl) -3-nitro-1 H -1,2,4-triazole (MSNT) is obtained from mesitylene sulfonyl chloride and 3-nitro-1 H -1,2,4-triazole , which as an activating agent for nucleotide synthesis is used.
Instead of hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid , the more effective (but considerably more expensive) O -esitylenesulfonylhydroxylamine (MSH) is often used for e.g. B. amination reactions are used.
