Dimethylamine → N,N-dimethylpiperidine-4-sulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of an amine such as dimethylamine (4.72 mmol) and sodium hydride (4.72 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 ml) was stirred for five minutes at room temperature. Then phenylmethyl 4-(chlorosulfonyl)-1-piperidinecarboxylate (1.60 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture and stirred at 100° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into water (25 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×25 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to give the title compound (410 mg, 80% yield) as an off-white solid. MS(ES)+ m/e 327.1 [M+H]+.
