Dimethyl Sulfoxide → HCID 178474986, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

DMSO (3.68 g, 47 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (20 ml) was added at −78° C. to a stirred solution of oxalylchloride (2.9 g, 23 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (100 ml). After 1 h stirring at −78° C. a solution of N-[trans-4-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)-cyclohexyl]-acetamide (2.18 g, 12 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (80 ml) was added followed after 2 h by Et3N (7.14 g, 71 mmol). The mixture was allowed to reach room temperature and was then diluted with H2O and extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined organic layers were dryed (Na2SO4) and the solvent was evaporated to afford the crude product. Chromatography (CH2Cl2/MeOH 95:5) yielded 1.75 g (81%, 9.5 mmol) of a light brown solid. MS (m/z): 184.3 ([M+H]+).
