Acetone → HCID 53679379, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-fluoro-2-nitrobenzoyl chloride (52 g, 0.256 mol) in a toluene (50 mL) and acetone (60 mL) mixture is added dropwise to a solution of sodium azide (19.55 g, 0.301 mol) in water while maintaining the reaction mixture temperature below 30° C. The resultant solid is collected and the filtrate is extracted with ether. The organic extracts are combined, washed with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated by blowing air over the solution to obtain additional solids. The solids are combined, slurried in an acetone/water (1:3) solution, filtered and dried to give the title product as a yellow solid.
