Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of methyl 4-[(methanesulfonamido)methyl]benzoate (5 g, 20.6 mmol) in MeOH (100 mL) at rt was added K2CO3 (2.9 g, 21 mmol). Methyl iodide (7 ml, 16 g, 112 mmol) was added and the mixture stirred overnight. The reaction was filtered and the solid washed with CHCl3/MeOH. The combined filtrates were evaporated and the residue was purified by flash chromatographyon eluting with 0-5% MeOH/CHCl3. The title compound was isolated as a white solid (4.9 g, 94%): 1H (CDCl3): d 8 .08 (d, 2H); 7.48 (d,2H); 4.41 (s, 1H); 3.97 (s, 3H); 3.91 (s, 3H); 2.83 (s, 3H).
