Methanesulfonyl chloride → N-(2-methyl-4-nitrobenzyl)methanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (2-methyl-4-nitrophenyl)methanamine (178 mg, 1.071 mmol) in pyridine, cooled to 0° C., were added methane sulfonylchloride (0.16 mL, 2.0349 mmol). The resulting reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h. The mixture dissolved in dichloromethane and washed with 1N HCl. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate removed in vacuo. The crude was purified by column chromatography to obtain N-(2-methyl-4-nitrobenzyl)methanesulfonamide (100 mg, 38%).
