Acetyl chloride → HCID 57940883, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(6-bromobenzoxazol-2-yl)aniline (Compound of Example 267) (925 mg), triethylamine (390 mg) and tetrahydrofuran (35 ml) was added acetyl chloride (276 mg) at room temperature. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was poured into water, and extracted with ethyl acetate-tetrahydrofuran (3:1, v/v). The organic layer was washed with 1 N hydrochloric acid, water, a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate and water, successively and dried over MgSO4. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the resulting crystals were collected by filtration to obtain N-[3-(6-bromobenzoxazol-2-yl)phenyl]acetamide (923 mg, 87%).
