Acetic Anhydride → 7-(acetamidomethyl)-4-bromo-9H-carbazole-1-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Step 1 A suspension of 7-(aminomethyl)-4-bromo-9H-carbazole-1-carboxamide (prepared according to Step 2 of Example 33-1, 168 mg, 0.528 mmol) and TEA (0.184 mL, 1.320 mmol) in THF (18 mL) was treated with acetic anhydride (0.080 mL, 0.845 mmol). The mixture was stirred at rt for 2 h, then was partitioned between EtOAc and 1 M hydrochloric acid. The organic phase was washed with NaHCO3 (aq) and brine, dried and concentrated to provide 7-(acetamidomethyl)-4-bromo-9H-carbazole-1-carboxamide as an off-white solid. Mass spectrum m/z 359.9 (M+H)+.
