Acetic Anhydride → 2-(1-Acetamidocyclopentyl)acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (1.2 mL, 8.4 mmol), acetic anhydride (0.8 mL, 8.4 mL) and DMAP (10 mg, 0.09 mmol) are subsequentially added to a suspension of (1-amino-cyclopentyl)-acetic acid (1.00 g, 5.6 mmol) in THF (30 mL). After heating at 60° C. for 2 h AcOEt is added and the organic phase is washed with 1N HCl. Drying (Na2SO4), filtration and evaporation of the solvent yields the desired product.
