Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mechanically stirred solution of 31.2 g (0.23 M) of m-aminoacetophenone and 35.4 ml (0.254 M) of triethylamine in 1 liter of tetrahydrofuran was added 75 g (0.23 M) of 1-hexadecanesulfonyl chloride at room temperature. The mixture was stirred for 2 hours and the suspended salt was removed. The filtrate was treated on a rotary evaporator to give a solid which was recrystallized from hexane: mp 95.5°-100° C.
