Procedure
A solution of 38.9 g (0.20 mole) of 4-fluorobenzenesulfonylchloride in 20 ml of methylene chloride was added slowly to 300 ml of a 40% aqueous dimethylamine solution during 0.5 hour period. The reaction was exothermic. After the reaction mixture was cooled a yellow solid was precipitated. The solid was collected, dissolved in 300 ml of ethyl acetate, and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solution was concentrated to 100 ml and a light yellow crystal formed. The crystal was collected and air-dried to afford 39 g of the product, mp 40°-43° C.
