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

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(4-chloro-2-propionylphenyl)trifluoromethanesulfonamide 22 (386 mg, 1.22 mmol), O-(4-fluorophenyl)hydroxylamine hydrochloride (200 mg, 1.22 mmol) and anhydrous NaOAc (110 mg, 1.34 mmol) in EtOH (18 mL) was stirred for 15 hours 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, 1:4) to afford N-{4-chloro-2-[1-(4-fluorophenoxyimino)propyl]phenyl}trifluoromethanesulfonamide 130 (420 mg, 81%), as a pale yellow solid.
