Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In a flask containing 128.4 g (0.75 mole) of N-phenylmethanesulfonamide, 169.5 g (1.50 mole) of chloroacetyl chloride in 1 L of methylene chloride under an atmosphere of nitrogen and cooled to about -10° C. add 300 g (2.25 mole) of aluminum chloride. Stir the resulting mixture for about 2 hours at -10° C. then warm to room temperature for about 16 hours. Pour the reaction mixture onto 2 Kg of ice containing 600 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Collect the precipitate and wash with methanol (3×300 mL) and dry in vacuo to give the title compound.
