Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)thioacetamide (3.51 g) in 1,4-dioxane (20 mL) were added dichloroacetone (2.64 g) and sodium hydrogen carbonate (1.75 g) at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred for 3 days. Insoluble material was removed by filtration, thionyl chloride (1.52 mL) was added to the filtrate, and the mixture was heated at 70° C. for 30 min. The reaction mixture was adjusted to pH=8-9 by the addition of saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and extracted with ethyl acetate/hexane (1/1)(100 mL×2). The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (4.19 g) as a pale-yellow solid.
