Tert-Butylamine → N-(tert-butyl)-2-methoxybenzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 30.00 g (145.17 mmol) of 2-methoxybenzenesulfonyl chloride in 150 ml of dichloromethane is admixed dropwise at 5-10° C. with 22.30 g (304.87 mmol) of tert-butylamine. The mixture is then stirred at room temperature for 2 h. Following extraction with water, the organic phase is dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness. This gives 31.10 g (88% of theory) of N-(tert-butyl)-2-methoxybenzenesulfonamide.
