Acetic Anhydride → HCID 14372570, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-amino-2-(2-aminoethoxy)-5-chloro-N-[2-(diethylamino)ethyl]benzamide (780 mg, 2.4 mmoles) (prepared in Example 47) in methylene chloride was added acetic anhydride (245 mg, 2.4 mmoles) and the mixture stirred for 30 minutes. This was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was partitioned between methylene chloride and sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic phase was concentrated and the residue flash-chromatographed on silica using methylene chloride:methanol:ammonia (100:4:0.5) solvent system. The appropriate fractions were combined and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was recrystallized from methylene chloride-ether to give 445 mg of the title compound as a white solid, mp. 143°-145° C.
