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 3M 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° 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.
