1-Butanesulfonyl chloride → HCID 13799776, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of 8.4 g (0.1 mole) 2-amino-2-methyl-propionitrile and 12.2 g (0.1 mole) 4-dimethylaminopyridine in 125 ml chloroform, 15.7 g (0.1 mole) 1-butanesulfonyl chloride in 25 ml chloroform were added dropwise over 20 minutes, with evolution of heat and separation of solids. The reaction mixture was refluxed 2.5 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was washed with 25 ml concentrated hydrochloric acid which had been diluted with 25 ml water. The layers were phase separated. The organic layer was washed twice with 50 ml ice water, dried over magnesium sulfate and stripped to give 8.0 g of the above-identified product, as a dark red oil.
