Acetic Anhydride → N-{5-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-2-thienyl}acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-2-thiophenamine (1.2 g) and acetic anhydride (0.36 ml) in dichloromethane (12 ml) was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a mixture of toluene and ethyl acetate (3:1) to give a brown powder of N-{5-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-2-thienyl}acetamide (0.77 g).
