Methanesulfonamide → N-(4-hexadecylamino-2-thiophenecarbonyl)methanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 25 g. of 4-hexadecylamino-2-thiophenecarbonyl chloride hydrochloride and 5.6 g. of methanesulfonamide in 250 ml. of pyridine is stirred under reflux for 2 hours and then concentrated in vacuo. The residue is partitioned between water and diethyl ether; the aqueous layer acidified with 1 N hydrochloric acid and the organic layer seperated, dried over magnesium sulfate, and evaporated. Crystallization of the residual white solid from 60% aqueous acetic acid and then from methylene chloride-hexane affords the product as a white solid.
