Reaction Steps

Into a 1-Neck round-bottom flask was added 2-Amino-3-methyl-phenol (1.00 g, 0.00812 mol), Chloroacetonitrile (0.617 mL, 0.00974 mol), K2CO3 (1.35 g, 9.7 mmol), and Acetone (15 mL, 0.20 mol). The reaction mixture was heated at 50° C. for 4 hr, filtered and concentrated to afford title product (670 mg, 51%) LCMS 163 (M+H).
