Methyl Bromide → HCID 22164290, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

27.5 g (0.1 mole) of N-(α,α-dimethylbenzyl) benzenesulfonamide was added to 5.8 g (0.12 mole) of 50% sodium hydride in 200 ml of dry N,N-dimethyl formamide. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes to react them. To the resulting sodium salt of N-(α,α-dimethylbenzyl)benzenesulfonamide was added 16.1 g (0.17 mole) of methyl bromide. The mixture was heated to 60° C. and stirred for 1 hour. The N,N-dimethyl formamide was distilled off under reduced pressure, and cold water was added. The resulting white solid was recrystallized from methanol to afford N-methyl-N-(α,α-dimethylbenzyl)benzenesulfonamide in a yield of 87%. This compound is designated as compound No. 64 in Table 2 below, and its melting point and elemental analysis values are shown in Table 2.
