Benzylamine → 4-(4-Benzylaminosulfonylmethylbenzyl)-nitrobenzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

Benzylamine (0.3 mL) was added to a solution of 4-(4-chlorosulfonylmethyl-benzyl)-nitrobenzene (100 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (4 mL). The mixture was stirred for 2 hours, poured into dilute aqueous potassium carbonate, and extracted with dichloromethane (3×15 mL). Solvents were evaporated and the residue was chromatographed on silica gel, eluting with 2% acetone in dichloromethane, to give 4-(4-benzylaminosulfonylmethylbenzyl)-nitrobenzene (44 mg) as a solid.
