Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4 g (0.021 mol) 4-Ethynyl-3-nitrobenzamide (Compound I-1), 30 ml (0.320 mol) acetic anhydride and 20 ml acetic acid were added into a reaction flask, stirred, and heated to 120° C. for 15 hours. After completion of the reaction monitored by TLC, the mixture was extracted with 300 ml ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was washed with water for three times, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to dryness, separated by column chromatography to obtain N-acetyl-4-ethynyl-3-nitrobenzamide (Compound I-11), 1.1 g (0.0047 mol), yield 22.6%.
