Cesium carbonate → N-(4-Acetyl-2-methylphenyl)methanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A test tube for microwave was charged with tris(dibenzylidenacetone)dipalladium (0) chloroform adduct (205 mg, 0.20 mmol), 9,9-dimethyl-9H-xanthene-4,5-diyl)bis[diphenylphosphine] (345 mg, 0.60 mmol), 4-acetyl-2-methylphenyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (1.41 g, 5.0 mmol), methanesulfonamide (570 mg, 6.0 mmol), cesium carbonate (1.63 g, 7.0 mmol) and 1,4-dioxane (5 ml). The mixture was subjected to microwave irradiation at 120° C. with stirring for 10 minutes. Then, it was filterd off and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to furnish the crude residue which was applied to a silica gel chromatography column and eluted with a volume mixture of hexane:ethyl acetate (2/1) to give 390 mg (34% yield) of the title compound as a yellow solid.
