Phthalimide → N-Chlorophthalimide

참여 물질

반응 단계

To 150 ml. of methylene chloride were added 7.35 g. (0.05 mole) of phthalimide, 21.5 ml. (5 equiv.) of 1,2-epoxybutane, and 0.061 g. (0.5 mmoles) of 4-dimethylaminopyridine. The mixture was cooled to 0° C. and saturated with chlorine. The resulting mixture was stirred for 20 hours at room temperature. A sample of the reaction mixture, analyzed by thin-layer chromatography (TLC), indicated that the reaction was not yet complete. The mixture was allowed to stir for an additional 24 hours, and the resulting clear yellow solution was evaporated to obtain crystalline N-chlorophthalimide. The product was vacuum dried to afford 7.7 g. (84.8%) of product. Analysis: (1) Percent Cl+ : Theory: 19.6; Found: 18.3. (2) Percent total chlorine: 18.1.
