Water → 2-Acetylamino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzothiophene-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetyl chloride (62 mL) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of 2-Amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-benzo[b]thiophene-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (125 g) in pyridine (750 mL) on an ice bath. After stirring at room temperature for 30 minutes, the solution was poured into water (2.2 L). The resulting solid was collected by filtration and washed with water, and then was dried overnight at 55° C. to provide the title compound (140 g) as a colorless solid.
