Acetic Anhydride → N-[2-(6,7-Dihydro-8H-indeno[5,4-d][1,3]oxazol-8-ylidene)ethyl]acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(6,7-Dihydro-8H-indeno[5,4-d][1,3]oxazol-8-ylidene)ethanamine (30.0 mg, 0.148 mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (1 mL), triethylamine (31.0 μL, 0.222 mmol) and acetic anhydride (16.8 μL, 0.178 mmol) were added under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred for 15 min. To the reaction solution was added saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and washed with saturated brine. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/methanol=100/0→95/5) to give the title compound (19.0 mg, yield 53%).
