Triethylamine → 3-methyl-4-(n-butanesulfonamido)phenyl N-methylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Butanesulfonyl chloride (2.6g., 0.017 mole) was added dropwise to a mixture of 3-methyl-4-aminophenyl N-methylcarbamate (3.0g., 0.017 mole), triethylamine (1.85g., 0.018 mole) and benzene (50 ml.). After refluxing for two hours, the reaction mixture was washed in a separatory funnel with water. The organic phase was dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate and upon removal of the solvent the product was isolated as a dark oil (3.15g.).
