3-Chloropropionyl chloride → HCID 21471943, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 5 g of 2-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-thieno[3,2-b]azepin-5-one and 4.5 g of 3-chloropropionyl chloride in 50 ml of dichloroethane was added 9.2 g of aluminum chloride and the mixture was stirred for 3 hours. The mixture was poured into ice-cold water and extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was washed with saline solution, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was recrystallized from ethanol to give 5.6 g of 3-(3-chloropropionyl)-2-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-thieno[3,2-b]azepin-5-one as white crystals, m.p. 86°-87° C.
