Potassium Carbonate → 4-[(Methanesulfonyl)amino]phenyl 4-ethenylbenzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 10.0 g (0.02511 mol) of 4-(methanesulfonamido)phenyl 4-(2-bromoethyl)benzoate, 3.47 g (0.02511 mol) of potassium carbonate and 100 ml of acetone was stirred at room temperature for 48 hours. The resultant mixture was filtered and the filtrate was condensed to a solid. Recrystallization from 1:1 1,2-dichloroethane:hexane gave 4.2 g (52.7% of theory) of 4-(methanesulfonamido)phenyl 4-vinylbenzoate; mp=172°-3° C.
