Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 19045450, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 1.60 g, 40.0 mmol) in 25 mL DMSO under Argon was added dropwise a solution of methanesulfonamide (3.80 g, 40.0 mmol) in 10 mL DMSO. The resulting mixture was stirred 30 minutes and a solution of 5'-(chloromethyl)-2'-hydroxyacetophenone (3.69 g, 20.0 mmol) in 10 mL DMSO was added. The resulting mixture was stirred three hours, poured into 150 mL ice water, acidified with 14 mL 3N hydrochloric acid, and the mixture extracted with methylene chloride (3×200 mL). The extract was washed with water (50 mL) and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give an oil which was partially purified by flash chromatography eluting with 3:97 methanol:chloroform to give a gum. The gum was stirred under 25 mL water to remove residual DMSO, the aqueous supernatant was decanted, and the residue was dried in vacuo. The resulting material was crystallized from ethylacetate to remove 0.67 g of a by-product identified as N,N-bis[(3-acetyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)methyl]methanesulfonamide. The mother liquor was concentrated in vacuo to give a residue which was re-chromatography to give a solid. The solid was recrystallized from n-butylchloride to give 0.60 g (12%) product, as a white solid, mp 85°-86.5° C.
