Participants

Reaction Steps

TEA (0.28 ml, 1.98 mmol, 3.0 eq) was added to a solution of paracetamol [4147] (0.10 g, 0.66 mmol, 1.0 eq) of in dry THF under argon atmosphere. At 0° C., bromoacetyl chloride [244] (0.123 g, 0.79 mmol, 1.2 eq) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 h. After 24 h, solvent was evaporated under vacuum and residue was taken in dichloromethane (50 ml) and washed with a 10% solution of NaHCO3 (15 ml) and then with brine (10 ml), followed by drying of the organic layer over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Evaporation of the solvent provided white solid which was purified by silica gel column chromatography (0.5% MeOH: DCM, 100-200 mesh silica) to give the product 4-acetamidophenyl 2-bromoacetate [299] (0.05 g, 28%).
