Benzenesulfonyl chloride → N-(2-(3-Chlorophenyl)pent-4-enyl)-N-methylbenzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-Methyl-(2-(3-chlorophenyl)pent-4-enyl)amine (202 mg, 1.03 mmol) was dissolved in 10 mL of ethyl acetate. A solution of sodium bicarbonate (766 mg, 10.3 mmol) in water (10 mL) was added followed by benzenesulfonyl chloride (363 mg, 4.06 mmol), and the heterogeneous mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The mixture was extracted with 5 mL of ethyl acetate followed by an additional 2×15 mL of ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, decanted, and evaporated. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with 10-20% ethyl ether in hexane to give 223 mg the title compound. 1NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.72 (d, 2H, J=8 Hz), 7.58 (tt, 1H, J=8, 1 Hz), 7.50 (t, 2H, J=8 Hz), 7.24 (d, 1H, J=8 Hz), 7.20 (dt, 1H, J=8, 1 Hz), 7.14 (t, 1H, J=1 Hz), 7.10 (dt, 1H, J=8, 1 Hz), 5.63 (ddt, 1H, J=17, 10, 7 Hz), 5.00 (dm, 1H, J=17 Hz),4.97 (dm, 1H, J=10 Hz) 3.42-3.34 (m, 1H), 3.00-2.90 (m, 2H), 2.61 (s, 3H), 2.56 (dtm, 1H, J=14, 6 Hz), 2.36 (dtm, 1H, J=14, 7 Hz). Mass spectrum (NH3 /CI): m/z=350 (M+1).
