Synthesis of acetamides by the reactions of alcohols with sulphuryl chloride in acetonitrile
Abstract
The reactions of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols with sulphuryl chloride in acetonitrile afforded the corresponding acetamides in moderate to good yields. 7,7-Dimethylnorbornan-1-ol afforded 7,7-dimethylnorbornan-1-yl chlorosulphate in 71% yield.
