Acetic Acid → 4-(2-Acetylamino-4,5-difluorophenyl)butanoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

The compound obtained in (3) above (380 mg) was dissolved in a mixed solvent of 5 ml of acetic acid and 10 ml of acetic anhydride. Upon the addition of 60 mg of 10% palladium-on-carbon, the mixture was catalytically hydrogenated. The catalyst was removed by filtration, the solvent was evaporated, and the residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography using a chloroform-methanol (10:1) mixed solvent as an eluant to obtain fractions containing the target compound. The fractions were concentrated to produce 90 mg of the title compound.
