Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 46 g (0.152 mol) of N-tert-butyl-2-methanesulfonyl-5-methyl-benzenesulfonamide in 450 ml of CCl4 is, after the addition of 27.0 g (0.152 mol) of NBS (N-bromosuccinimide) and 1 g of AIBN (azobisisobutyronitrile), heated under reflux for 7 h using a daylight lamp. The reaction mixture is then filtered and washed successively with NaHSO3 solution, NaHCO3 solution and water, dried over MgSO4 and completely concentrated in vacuo. 51.2 g of a crude mixture containing 55% by weight of N-tert-butyl-5-bromomethyl-2-methanesulfonylbenzenesulfonamide are obtained.
