Reaction of N-Halosulfonamide. IV. A Cleavage Reaction of Ether with N, N-Dihalobenzenesulfonamide. (1).

Abstract

It was found that N, N-dibromobenzenesulfonamide (I) reacted with various ethers in mild conditions. Aliphatic ethers were thereby cleaved in aldehyde and alkyl bromide. Reaction of ethyl, butyl, butyl benzyl, and benzyl ethers with I were also investigated and benzaldehyde and benzyl bromide formed were chemicaly identified and other products were directly detected by gas chromatography.
