HCID 668793, compound → 4-hydroxy-N,N-dimethylbenzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-methoxy-N,N-dimethylbenzenesulfonamide (37 g) and aluminum chloride (69 g) in benzene (170 ml) was stirred under reflux for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was poured into ice-water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated. The residue was purified by recrystallization from toluene to give 4-hydroxy-N,N-dimethylbenzenesulfonamide (26 g).
