Hydrochloric Acid → N-(1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-butyl)-methanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methanesulfonyl chloride (46 mL, 0.6 mol) in dichloromethane (100 mL) was added dropwise over 45 minutes to a solution of tert-octylamine (80 mL, 0.5 mol) and triethylamine (84 mL, 0.6 mol) in dichloromethane (400 mL) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred for a further 1 hour at room temperature then 1M HCl (1 L) was added in one portion. The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (2×1 L). The organic solution was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford N-(1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-butyl)-methanesulfonamide as a yellow oil (100.8g, 97%).
