Sodium Acetate → N-{2-[(4-bromobenzyloxyimino)phenylmethyl]-4-chlorophenyl}trifluoromethanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(2-benzoyl-4-chlorophenyl)trifluoromethanesulfonamide 25 (370 mg, 1.02 mmol), O-(4-bromobenzyl)hydroxylamine hydrochloride (270 mg, 1.13 mmol) and anhydrous NaOAc (90 mg, 1.10 mmol) in EtOH (20 mL) was stirred for 15 hours at RT. The reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum and the residue filtered through a pad of silica (eluting with CH2Cl2/PE, 3:2). Purification by radial thin layer chromatography (eluting with CH2Cl2/PE, 1:9) afforded N-{2-[(4-bromobenzyloxyimino)phenylmethyl]-4-chlorophenyl}trifluoromethanesulfonamide 64 (210 mg, 38%), as a yellow solid. M.p. 55-56° C. 1H n.m.r. (200 MHz, CDCl3) δ 11.32, br s, 1H; 7.66, d, J=9.0 Hz, 1H; 7.55-7.48, m, 5H; 7.33-7.20, m, 5H; 6.88, d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H; 5.11, s, 2H.
