Tert-Butylamine → 2-(4-Nitro-phenyl)-ethanesulfonic acid tert-butylamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-BuNH2 (15.6 mL, 148 mmol) in THF (50 mL) at 0° C., 2-(4-nitro-phenyl)-ethanesulfonyl chloride (WO 2006010079, 1.9 g, 7.6 mmol) was added portionwise. The resulting mixture was stirred for 24 h at RT. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was taken up in DCM (50 mL) and cold 0.5 N HCl (50 mL). The organic layer was separated, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated to obtain 2-(4-nitro-phenyl)-ethanesulfonic acid tert-butylamide (1.3 g, 62%) which was used directly without further purification.
