Acetyl chloride → HCID 85817530, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of (3-amino-phenyl)-acetonitrile (500 mg, 3.79 mmol) and TEA (498 mg, 4.93 mmol) was added acetyl chloride (387 mg, 4.93 mmol) slowly at 0° C. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 min. The reaction mixture was quenched with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride and extracted with DCM twice. The combined organic layers were washed with aqueous ammonia chloride and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to afford the title compound (558 mg, 3.20 mmol, 85% yield) as a pale-yellow solid. MS (ESI) m/z 175.1 [M+H]+.
