Triethylamine → Coumate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A slurry of 7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin (17.6 g, 0.10 mole) in acetonitrile (100 ml) was treated with a total of 84 ml of 3 M sulfamoyl chloride (0.255 mole) in acetonitrile. The mixture was then treated dropwise with triethylamine (25.8 g, 0.255 mole). The reaction temperature was allowed to rise to 45° C. without any cooling. The mixture was stirred overnight at ambient temperature. The precipitate was collected, triturated with water, and dried in a vacuum oven at 70° C. for 15 hr to give 10.5 g (41%) of white powder, mp 161°-164° C.
