Tert-Butylamine → 2,2,2-Trifluoroethane-1-sulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Tetrahydrofuran (6 mL) was added to tert-butylamine (220 mg, 3.0 mmol), and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanesulfonyl chloride (300 mg, 1.6 mmol) was slowly added dropwise thereto. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes, and the solvent was evaporated off under reduced pressure. To the residue, trifluoroacetic acid (3.3 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hours. The solvent was evaporated off under reduced pressure, and purification by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform/methanol=100/0 to 5/1) was performed to give 2,2,2-trifluoroethanesulfonamide (Compound GC) (66 mg, yield: 25%).
