Ammonium Hydroxide → 2,2,2-Trifluoroethane-1-sulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

The CF3CH2SO2NH2 was prepared by cooling a solution of commercially available CF3CH2SO2Cl (0.6 ml, 1 eq) in CH2Cl2 to 0° C. NH4OH (0.75 ml, 14.8 N, 2 eq) was then added dropwise. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature overnight. The reaction was diluted with water and extracted three times with CH2Cl2. The combined organic layers were dried with Na2SO4 and concentrated. The sulfonamide was used without further purification.
