Dichloromethane → 2-bromo-N-tert-butylbenzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Bromobenzenesulfonyl chloride (100.9 g, 394.9 mmol) was dissolved in DCM (500 mL, 8.0 mol) and cooled at 0° C. t-Butylamine (41.3 mL, 395 mmol) was added in 3 portions over approximately 1 minute. DIPEA (75.7 mL, 434 mmol) was immediately added in 3 portions over approximately 1 minute. The mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred overnight. The product was washed with 1M H3PO4 (2×), with saturated. NaHCO3, and with saturated aqueous NaCl, then dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to yield 2-bromo-N-t-butyl-benzenesulfonamide (112 g) as a light brown solid.
