Participants

Reaction Steps

To a cooled solution of (N-carbophenoxy-N-methylamino)thioacetamide (1.0 g; 4.46 mmoles) and dry pyridine (0.36 ml, 4.46 mmoles) in 6 ml of absolute ethanol was added a solution of 1,3-dichloropropanone (0.57 g; 4.49 mmoles) in 3 ml of absolute ethanol. The mixture was heated at reflux temperature for 1.5 hours, then evaporated under reduced pressure and the oil residue partitioned between ether and water. The aqueous layer was extracted with ether and the combined ether phase was washed with water, saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and dried. Filtration and evaporation yielded 1.02 g of the title compound as a viscous oil; TLC [silica/CH2Cl2 :CH3CN (85:15)] gave Rf=0.82. The NMR spectrum (60 MHz) in CDCl3 gave the following resonances δ: 7.16 (m, 6H); 4.77 (broad s, 2H); 4.60 (s, 2H); 3.07 (broad s, 3H).
