4-Chlorobenzenesulfonyl chloride → 4-Chloro-N-methylbenzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Chlorobenzenesulfonyl chloride (10 g, 47 mmol) was added to a solution of methylamine hydrochloride (3.5 g, 52 mmol) and triethylamine (16.5 ml, 12.0 g, 119 mmol) in dichloromethane (100 ml) while cooling in an ice/water bath. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 18 h. The mixture was reduced and chromatography (30% EtOAc/70% hexanes) afforded 4-chloro-N-methylbenzenesulfonamide (7.9 g, 81%) as a colourless oil.
