m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → Dimethylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

5.4 g of metachlorperbenzoic acid was added to a chloroform solution of 3.7 g of N-allyl-N-(α-methylbenzyl)-4-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl)benzenesulfonamide obtained by reaction between dimethylamine and N-allyl-N-(α-methylbenzyl)-4-chlorocarbonylbenzenesulfonamide. The mixture was reacted under reflux for 2 hours. Thereafter, an aqueous sodium sulfite solution was added to decompose the excess of the peroxide. After washing with an aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and water, the chloroform solution was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, concentrated and purified by the silica gel chromatography to obtain 3.0 g (77%) of the intended product (Compound No. 163), m.p. 98.0°~100.0° C. The elemental analysis of the product was effected with the results shown below.
