2-Amino-3-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-alpha-(n-propylthio)-phenylacetamide → 2-Amino-3-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-phenylacetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 24.2 g (0.07 mole) of 2-amino-3-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-α-(n-propylthio)phenylacetamide in 300 ml of tetrahydrofuran was treated with 250 g of wet Raney nickel (washed 3 times with water and 3 times with tetrahydrofuran). The mixture was stirred for one hour and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum and the residue was recrystallized from 95% ethyl alcohol to give 14.8 g (78%) of yellow needles melting at 184°-186° C.
