Dimethylamine → 4-bromo-2-fluoro-N,N-dimethylbenzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 4-bromo-2-fluorobenzene-1-sulfonyl chloride (1.0 g, 3.7 mmol) and Et3N (1.5 mL, 11 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL) was added a solution of dimethylamine 2.0 M in THF (2.2 mL, 4.4 mmol). The reaction was stirred at ambient temperature for 30 minutes. The reaction was washed with 10 mL of 1N aqueous HCl and 10 mL of brine. Organics were dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated to dryness. Crude product was purified by chromatography on silica gel (eluting with 0-25% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to afford 4-bromo-2-fluoro-N,N-dimethylbenzenesulfonamide (780 mg, 75%).
