Triethylamine → 3-chloro-N,N-dimethylpropane-1-sulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of dimethylamine hydrochloride (1.38 g) in dichloromethane (20 mL) was added triethylamine (2.52 mL) and then 3-chloropropanesulfonyl chloride (0.69 mL) and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 16 h. The reaction was quenched with water (20 mL) and extracted into dichloromethane (2×30 mL). The combined organics were washed with 1 M aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (40 mL) then saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, dried (MgSO4) and reduced in vacuo to give 3-chloro-propane-1-sulfonic acid dimethylamide as a yellow solid.
