Triethylamine → N-[3-(Chloromethyl)phenyl]methanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

873 mg (4.903 mmol) of 3-(chloromethyl)aniline hydrochloride (Example 89A) were initially charged in 4 ml of tetrahydrofuran, and 2.48 g (24.514 mmol) of triethylamine were added. A solution of 421 mg (3.677 mmol) of methanesulfonyl chloride in 3 ml of tetrahydrofuran was slowly added dropwise, and the reaction solution was stirred at RT for 2 h. The reaction solution was concentrated using a rotary evaporator and the residue was purified by preparative HPLC (Chromasil, water/acetonitrile).
