2-fluoro-N-methylbenzenesulfonamide

Conditions: temp:0.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A RBF was charged with methylamine (0.5 mL, 40%, 14 mmol) in ethanol (2 mL). The mixture was chilled to 0° C. in an ice bath while being stirred under an inert atmosphere. 2-Fluorobenzenesulfonyl chloride (0.6 mL, 3 mmol) was added dropwise into the mixture. The resulting mixture was allowed to stir at 0° C. for 30 minutes. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc and water. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc three times, and the combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give 2-fluoro-N-methylbenzenesulfonamide (0.530 g, 99% yield) as a colorless oil. MS (ESI pos. ion) m/z: 190 (MH+). Calculated exact mass for C7H8FNO2S: 189. to stir at 0° C. for 30 minutes The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc three times the combined organic layers were washed with brine dried over sodium sulfate filtered concentrated in vacuo
