Dimethylamine → N,N-dimethyl-1-(3-nitrophenyl)methanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (3-Nitrophenyl)methanesulfonyl chloride (1.0 g, 0.0042 mol) in dry dichloromethane (25 mls) at room temperature dimethylamine (2M in THF, 5.3 ml, 0.105 mol) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred for 3 hours then filtered through silica, then evaporated to give N,N-Dimethyl-C-(3-nitro-phenyl)-methanesulfonamide, 1.0 g, 1H NMR CDCl3 2.84 (6H, s, 2×CH3), 4.29 (2H, s, CH2), 7.60 (1H, m, ArH), 7.79 (1H, d, ArH), 8.25 (2H, m, ArH)
