Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-tert-butyl-1-phenyl-methanesulfonamide (1 g, 4.39 mmol) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (15 mL) was added sodium hydride (60% in mineral oil) (211 mg, 5.3 mmol) and the reaction was stirred at ambient temperature for 30 minutes. 1-Bromo-4-(bromomethyl)benzene (1.21 g, 4.83 mmol) was then added and the reaction was stirred at 80° C. for 16 hours. Water was added and the reaction was diluted with EtOAc and washed with water (×2) and brine, dried with MgSO4, concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography (0-30% EtOAc in heptane) to give N-[(4-bromophenyl)methyl]-N-tert-butyl-1-phenyl-methanesulfonamide (1.18 g, 68% yield). LCMS (m/z) ES+ 397 [M+1]+.
