Condensation of 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethylamine (I) with either 5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid (II) by means of CDI and TEA or 5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoyl chloride (III) by means of pyridine and DMAP gives the corresponding benzamide (IV), which by treatment with chlorosulfonic acid yields the sulfonyl chloride (V). Reaction of compound (V) with aqueous ammonia in acetone affords the expected sulfonamide (VI), which is finally treated with methyl isothiocyanate (VII) by means of either KOtBu or NaH in DMF.
