p-Toluenesulfonic acid → HCID 21496692, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 8.2 parts of 2-acetylbenzoic acid, 7.27 parts of 4-chloro-2-fluoroaniline and 0.01 part of p-toluene-sulfonic acid was heated in an oil bath with occasional stirring at 150°-170° for 2 hours. The melt was poured into 100 parts of chloroform and washed successively with 50 parts of 10% aqueous hydrochloric acid solution, 50 parts of 10% aqueous sodium carbonate solution and 100 parts of a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution. After drying the organic phase with anhydrous sodium sulfate, the solvent was evaporated at 300 mm. Hg at 50° C and the residue was crystallized from 100 parts of methanol to yield 8 parts of 2-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-3-methylene-1H-isoindol-1-one melting 86°-87°.
