2-bromo-N-ethylbenzenesulfonamide

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To a 20 mL vial were added a stirbar, 2-bromobenzene-1-sulfonyl chloride (0.995 g, 3.89 mmol), and THF (5 mL). The vial was then charged with EtNH2 in THF (5 mL, 2.0 M). The mixture was stirred for 24 hours before adding it to a separatory funnel containing 1 N HCl and EtOAc. The layers were mixed thoroughly and then separated. The organic layer was then washed with water followed by sat. NaHCO3, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to dryness to give the crude product. Subjecting the oil to FCC yielded the title compound (580 mg, 56%). 1H NMR (600 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.17-8.10 (dd, J=7.8, 1.7, 1H), 7.75-7.69 (dd, J=7.8, 1.2, 1H), 7.48-7.43 (m, 1H), 7.43-7.37 (m, 1H), 5.16-4.91 (t, J=6.7, 1H), 3.06-2.87 (m, 2H), 1.19-1.00 (t, J=7.3, 3H). before adding it to a separatory funnel The layers were mixed thoroughly separated The organic layer was then washed with water dried over MgSO4 filtered concentrated to dryness to give the crude product
