Acetic Anhydride → 3-(2-Nitro-5-(thiophen-2-yl)phenyl)urea

Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetic anhydride (0.03 g, 0.31 mmol, 1.1 equiv.) was added to a solution of 1-(2-nitro-5-(thiophen-2-yl)phenyl)-3-(piperidin-4-ylmethyl)urea (0.10 g, 0.28 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) and triethylamine (60 μL, 0.42 mmol, 1.5 equiv.) in dichloromethane (5 mL) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 211. The reaction was then diluted with water. The product was extracted with dichloromethane, washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude solid was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 5% MeOH/CH2Cl2) to afford 14(1-acetylpiperidin-4-yl)methyl)-3-(2-nitro-5-(thiophen-2-yl)phenyl)urea (0.09 g, 81% yield).
