Reaction Steps

To the crude (R)-3-(phenylmethylsulfonamido)butyl phenylmethanesulfonate (23.6 mmol) was added sodium chloride (984 mg, 16.8 mmol) and dimethylformamide (37 mL) and the reaction was stirred at 80° C. for 16 hours. The reaction was then diluted with EtOAc, washed with water (×2) and brine, dried with MgSO4, concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography (0-50% Acetone in Heptane, 216 nM) to give (R)—N-(4-chlorobutan-2-yl)-1-phenylmethanesulfonamide (1.71 g, 6.53 mmol, 58% yield over 2 steps). LCMS (ESI), m/z, 261 [M+H]+.
