Potassium Acetate → HCID 15617368, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5.0 g of 3-bromomethyl-2-carboethoxy-N-(1,1-dimethylethyl)benzenesulfonamide and 1.5 g of potassium acetate in 50 mL of dimethylsulfoxide was stirred at room temperature for 6 hours. The resulting reaction mixture was poured onto ice and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with a solution of saturated sodium chloride and then dried over magnesium sulfate. Removal of the drying agent by filtration and concentration provided a white solid. Chromatography on silica gel with 1:1 ethyl acetate/hexane provided 2.58 g of a white solid, m.p. 81°-82° C.
