Reaction Steps

N-(3-cyanomethoxy-2-methylphenyl)-methanesulfonamide (1.87 g, 7.78 mmol) was suspended in a 1:1 mixture of t-butanol and carbon tetrachloride (80 ml) and cooled in an ice bath. t-Butyl hypochlorite (TCl, 0.85 g, 7.78 mmol) was added dropwise. The mixture was maintained at -4° C. overnight then warmed to room temperature. The volatiles were removed at reduced pressure. N-(6-chloro-3-cyanomethoxy-2-methylphenyl)-methanesulfonamide (1.05 g, 49% yield) was obtained by recrystallization from toluene.
