Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Oxalyl chloride (1.27 grams; 0.01 mole) is added portionwise to a stirred solution of N-(2-methoxyethyl)trifluoromethanesulfonamide (4.0 grams; 0.02 mole) and triethylamine (2.0 grams; 0.02 mole) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (40 mls) at 0° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere. After the addition is completed, the reaction mixture is stirred at 0° C. for one hour, heated to 50° C. and stirred thereat for 2 hours, and concentrated to remove the solvent. The residue is then extracted with diethyl ether and the ether extract is evaporated to obtain 4.65 grams (99% of theoretical) of crude product.
