Dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal → N'-(3,5-difluorophenylsulfonyl)-N,N-dimethylformimidamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3,5-difluorobenzenesulfonamide (154 g, 0.797 mol) in CH3CN (1 L) was added N,N-dimethylformamide dimethylacetal (224 mL, 1.67 mmol, 2.1 eq). After stirring 1 h, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. This material was triturated with Et2O and dried in vacuo to give N′-(3,5-difluorophenylsulfonyl)-N,N-dimethylformimidamide (190 g, 96%) as a light brown solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.12 (s, 1H), 7.44-7.38 (m, 2H), 6.98-6.91 (m, 1H), 3.17 (s, 3H), 3.05 (s, 3H).
