Sodium Acetate → N-{2-[1-(4-fluorophenoxyimino)ethyl]-5-trifluoromethylphenyl}trifluoromethanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(2-acetyl-5-trifluoromethylphenyl)trifluoromethanesulfonamide 35 (280 mg, 0.84 mmol), O-(4-fluorophenyl)hydroxylamine hydrochloride (150 mg, 0.92 mmol) and anhydrous NaOAc (75 mg, 0.92 mmol) in EtOH (15 mL) was stirred for 24 hours at RT. The reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum, the residue purified by column chromatography (eluting with CH2Cl2/PE; 1:1 to 4:1) and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. Recrystallization from CH2Cl2/PE afforded N-{2-[1-(4-fluorophenoxyimino)ethyl]-5-trifluoromethylphenyl}trifluoromethanesulfonamide 200 (300 mg, 81%), as colorless crystals. M.p. 95-96° C. 1H n.m.r. (200 MHz, CDCl3) δ 11.48, br s, 1H; 8.01, s, 1H; 7.76, d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H; 7.55, m, 1H; 7.19-7.04, m, 4H; 2.60, s, 3H.
