Pyridine → N-(4-mercaptophenyl)cyclopropanecarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 4-aminothiophenol (9.4 g, 75.0 mmol, 1.5 equiv) and pyridine (8.09 mL, 100.0 mmol, 2 equiv) at 0° C. was added cyclopropanecarbonyl chloride (4.58 mL, 50.0 mmol, 1 equiv) drop wise. The reaction was stirred from 0° C. to room temperature for overnight, diluted with EtOAc (200 mL), washed with 1 N HCl (50 mL×4), dried over Na2SO4, concentrated, and dried under vacuum to yield the compound 5 as a off-white solid (8.5 g, 88%).
