Acetic Anhydride → HCID 131730828, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetic anhydride (1.20 ml, 12.7 mmol) was added to a solution of trans-methyl 3-aminocyclohexane-carboxylate (0.40 g, 2.54 mmol) in pyridine (10 ml) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 1 h. The volatiles were removed in vacuum, the resulting residue was dissolved in DCM and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution followed by brine solution (10 ml). After drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtration the filtrate was concentrated under vacuum to afford 350 mg (69.0%) of trans-methyl 3-acetamidocyclohexanecarboxylate as a colorless liquid.
