Diethylamine → N,N-diethyl-6-chlorohexanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

6-Chlorohexanesulfonyl chloride (6.57g, 30 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of diethyl ether (60 ml) and diethylamine (4.83g, 66 mmol) with stirring under ice-cooling. Thereafter, the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 20 minutes. The reaction mixture was washed twice with water (10 ml) and then with brine (10 ml), and thereafter dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Subsequently, the solvent was removed by evaporation In vacuo. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel with ethyl acetate-n-hexane (1:4), to give N,N-diethyl-6-chlorohexanesulfonamide (7.12 g) as a pale yellow oil.
