The C-amidoalkylation of p-cresol with 4-chloro-N-(2,2-dichloro-2-phenylethylidene)benzenesulfon-amide in the presence of H2SO4, oleum, or a mixture of H2SO4 and P4O10 was studied for the first time. It was shown that the reaction not only leads to the targeted 4-chloro-N-[2,2-dichloro-1-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-2-phenylethyl]benzenesulfonamide but is also accompanied by unexpected formation of the heterocyclic derivatives 4-chloro-N-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-1-benzofuran-3-yl)benzenesulfonamide and 5-methyl-3-phenyl-2-benzofuran-2(3H)-one.
