Propionyl chloride → N-[3-bromo-5-(pyridine-3-carbonyl)-phenyl]-propionamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 0.20 g of (3-amino-5-bromo-phenyl)-pyridin-3-yl-methanone (0.72 mmol) in 10 mL of dichloroethane was added 0.25 mL of diisopropylethylamine and 0.065 mL of propionyl chloride. The reaction was stirred 1 h at ambient temperature, then poured into saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The phases were separated and the aqueous phase was washed once with methylene chloride, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give 0.24 g (quantitative yield) of N-[3-bromo-5-(pyridine-3-carbonyl)-phenyl]-propionamide.
