Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Pyridine (12.0 mL, 150 mmol) was added to a solution of 2-methoxyphenethylamine (15.1 g, 100 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (100 mL). The reaction was cooled to 0° C. and methanesulfonyl chloride (12.6 g, 110 mmol) was added. The reaction was stirred at 0° C. for 0.5 h and at room temperature for 2 h. Water was added and the aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2 (2×). The organic solution was washed water (1×) and brine (1×), dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to afford N-[2-(2-methoxy-phenyl)-ethyl]-methanesulfonamide (18.5 g).
