Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-fluorobenzenesulphonyl chloride (6.0 g) in chloroform (30 ml) was added dropwise to a well-stirred solution of N,N'-dimethyl-ethylenediamine (25 g) in chloroform (300 ml) at room temperature. After 2 hours the chloroform solution was vigorously shaken with aqueous sodium carbonate solution, separated, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated under reduced pressure to give an oil. The oil was treated with chloroform (60 ml) and water (100 ml). The two solvents were mixed thoroughly and were then separated. The chloroform layer was dried (MgSO4) and evaporated under reduced pressure to give an oil. Final traces of N,N'-dimethyl-ethylenediamine were removed by heating the oil under low vacuum to give 4-fluoro-N-methyl-N-[2-(methylamino)ethyl]benzenesulphonamide.
