Potassium Carbonate → 4-(4-Nitro-benzyl)-thiomorpholine 1,1-dioxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

8.6 g (40 mmol) of 4-nitrobenzylbromide are dissolved in 100 ml of acetone. 6.9 g (50 mmol) of potassium carbonate and 5.4 g (40 mmol) of thiomorpholine-1,1-dioxide are added. The reaction solution is stirred for 7 hours at ambient temperature. After the undissolved solids have been filtered off, the solution is concentrated by evaporation. The residue is divided between ethyl acetate and water. The organic phases are freed from solvent in vacuo. The product is triturated with ether and dried.
