Methanesulfonyl chloride → HCID 54542349, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a second synthesis, 10 g of 4-methylbenzohydroximoyl chloride, 6.7 g of methanesulfonyl chloride, and 160 ml of benzene were mixed in a 250-ml, three-necked, round-bottomed flask equipped with a stirrer, thermometer, and drying tube. Triethylamine (8.8 g) was added dropwise during 6 minutes at 5°-10°, and the mixture was stirred at that temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was filtered, the solid was washed with benzene, the washes and filtrate were combined and concentrated, and the concentrate was recrystallized from ethanol to give 9 g of N-(methanesulfonyloxy)-4-methylbenzimidoyl chloride, m.p. 100°-102°. The ir spectrum was consistent with the assigned structure.
