A solution of 4-bromobenzylamine (1.85 g, 10 mmol) and triethylamine (2 g, 20 mmol) in dimethylformamide (30 ml) was treated with 3-chloropropanesulfonyl chloride (1.78 g, 10 mmol) by dropwise addition over 10 minutes with stirring under argon. This mix was stirred for 30 minutes before being treated with a 60% suspension of sodium hydride in mineral oil (1.2 g, 30 mmol of NaH) portionwise and the whole mix stirred at room temperature for 3 days. The reaction mixture was partitioned between water (50 ml) and dichloromethane (30 ml). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulphate and reduced to minimum volume by rotary evaporation. The residue was added to a 20 g pre-packed silica column and eluted from 0-50% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether to give the title compound as a yellow oil (2.72 g, 94%).
