Synthesis

Sulforidazine can be synthesized starting 2-bromo-2'-amino-4'-methylsulfonyl-diphenyl sulfide (1).[2][3][4] Acetylation produces 2-bromo-2'-acetamino-4'-methylsulphonyl diphenylsulfide (2), which is then alkylated with 2-(2-chloroethyl)-1-methylpiperidine (3). Deacylation followed by a copper-catalyzed ring-formation reaction produces sulforidazine.
