Ammonia → 3-(4-Pentafluorosulfanyl-phenyl)-acrylamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 5.70 g (20.8 mmol) 3-(4-pentafluorosulfanyl-phenyl)-acrylic acid in 30 ml tetrahydrofuran and 0.21 ml N,N-dimethyl formamide a solution of 3.47 ml (27.4 mmol) oxalyl chloride in 5.0 ml tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise at 0° C. within 10 min. Stirring was continued at 0–5° C. for 30 min. and 3 h at room temperature thereafter. The resulting solution was cooled to 0–5° C. again and then added within 15 min. to mixture of 300 ml ice and 120 ml of a 25% aqueous ammonia solution. The precipitated amide was collected, washed with water and n-heptane and dried at 40° C. in vacuo. Yield 5.17 g (91%) 3-(4-pentafluorosulfanyl-phenyl)-acrylamide.
