N,N-Dimethylglycine → 4-(Methylsulfonylamino)benzaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-bromobenzaldehyde (0.250 g, 1.40 mmol), methanesulfonamide (0.154 g, 1.62 mmol), copper iodide (0.0510 g, 0.270 mmol), N,N-dimethylglycine (0.0280 g, 0.270 mmol), and potassium phosphate tribasic (0.716 g, 3.38 mmol) in DMF (5.00 mL) was stirred at reflux for 16 hours. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc (50 mL), washed with water (50 mL), and then saturated aqueous LiCl (5 mL). The combined aqueous layers were then back-extracted with EtOAc (50 mL). The organic layers were combined, washed with brine (50 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure, to provide N-(4-formylphenyl)methanesulfonamide (0.161 g, 58%) as a yellow oil.
