Sodium Acetate → N-{4-chloro-2-[1-(4-chlorophenoxyimino)propyl]phenyl}trifluoromethanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(4-chloro-2-propionylphenyl)trifluoromethanesulfonamide 22 (450 mg, 1.43 mmol), O-(4-chlorophenyl)hydroxylamine hydrochloride (257 mg, 1.43 mmol) and anhydrous NaOAc (125 mg, 1.52 mmol) in EtOH (23 mL) was stirred for 15 h at RT. The reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum and the residue filtered through a pad of silica (eluting with CH2Cl2/PE, 3:2). The residue was purified by radial thin layer chromatography (eluting with CH2Cl2/PE, 1:5) to afford N-{4-chloro-2-[1-(4-chlorophenoxyimino)propyl]phenyl}trifluoromethanesulfonamide 128 (455 mg, 72%), as a yellow solid.
