HCID 222467414-[(Methylsulfonyl)amino]butanamide

Procedure

A solution of 4-methanesulfonylamino-butyric acid ethyl ester (7.08 g, 33.8 mmol) in concentrated NH4OH (200 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 66 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated to afford the title compound as a white solid (6.16 g). The product was used in the next step without further purification. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 3.30 (s, 3H), 3.05-3.09 (m, 2H), 2.91 (s, 3H), 2.24-2.30 (m, 2H), 1.80-1.85 (m, 2H); MS 181 (M++1).
