Triethylamine → HCID 18468853, 화합물

An oven-dried, nitrogen-flushed 1 L round bottom flask equipped with an addition funnel, nitrogen inlet, reagent inlet, and a teflon-coated stir bar was charged with 116.3 g 5-aminomethylnorbornene (0.944 mol,) 95.5 g triethylamine (0.944 mol,) and 1 L dichloromethane. The addition funnel was charged with 121.4 g ethanesulfonyl chloride (0.944 mol,) and 500 ml dichloromethane. The contents of the addition funnel were added dropwise to the flask over the course of approx. two hours. During this time, the reaction warmed gradually and finally began a gentle reflux. The reaction was left to stir for approx. 24 hours. The mixture was transferred into a separatory funnel, and the organic layer was washed twice with 300 ml water, 2× with 300 mL dilute sodium bicarbonate, and twice more with 300 ml water. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, then concentrated to yield an oil. Attempts to crystallize the oil from hexane:ethyl acetate failed. Silica gel column chromatography using hexane:ethyl acetate (60:40) as the eluent gave a clear, straw-colored oil that was further purified by vacuum distillation (140° C. at 5 microns of Hg) to provide 170 g of the desired ethanesulfonamide as a mixture of isomers. The product was identified by 1H and 13C NMR and IR spectroscopy.
