p-Bromobenzenesulfonyl chloride → 4-bromo-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-methylbenzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-bromobenzenesulfonyl chloride (1.10 g) in chloroform (10 mL) was stirred in an ice bath, during which N-methylethanolamine (5 mL) was slowly added dropwise thereto. The mixture was returned to room temperature and stirred for about 2.5 hours. The reaction solution was quenched with concentrated hydrochloric acid with stirring again in an ice bath. The mixed solution was poured into 6 M hydrochloric acid (10 mL) as such, followed by extraction with chloroform. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered, after which the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a crude product of 4-bromo-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-methylbenzenesulfonamide as a colorless oil (1.339 g, quant.).
