Acetic Acid → N-{4-chloro-2-[1-(thiophen-2-ylmethoxyimino)propyl]phenyl}trifluoromethanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

N,N-Dimethylethylenediamine (254 μL, 2.20 mmol) was added to a solution of N-(thiophen-2-ylmethoxy)phthalimide (365 mg, 1.50 mmol) in EtOH (5 mL), and the reaction allowed to stir at RT for 15 h. Glacial acetic acid (1 mL) was then added to adjust the mixture to ca. pH 4 followed by a solution of N-(4-chloro-2-propionylphenyl)trifluoromethanesulfonamide 22 (316 mg, 1.0 mmol) in EtOH (2 mL), and the mixture stirred for 15 h at RT. The reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum, and the residue purified by column chromatography (eluting with CH2Cl2/PE, 1:1) to afford N-{4-chloro-2-[1-(thiophen-2-ylmethoxyimino)propyl]phenyl}trifluoromethanesulfonamide 207 (364 mg, 85%), as a white solid.
