Tert-Butylamine → N-t-butyl-3-methyl-4-(trifluoromethanesulfonamido)benzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Methyl-4-(trifluoromethanesulfonamido)benzenesulfonyl chloride (1.5 g) was added to tetrahydrofuran (40 ml) containing t-butylamine (0.65 g), and the resultant mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated and extracted with chloroform. The extract was washed with 5% hydrochloric acid and water in order, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was recrystallized from benzene and then from toluene to give 0.57 g of N-t-butyl-3-methyl-4-(trifluoromethanesulfonamido)benzenesulfonamide (Compound No. 16). M.P., 139.5°-140.5° C.
