Potassium Carbonate → 2-bromo-N-(isoxazol-3-yl)acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Isoxazol-3-ylamine (1.14 g) was dissolved in dichloromethane (50 mL) and potassium carbonate (3.74 g) was added. Bromoacetyl chloride (1.12 mL) was added slowly with stirring and the suspension was stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was washed with water (2×50 mL), dried and evaporated. The product was recrystallised from dichloromethane/isohexane to afford the sub-titled compound (2.3 g).
