Hydrochloric Acid → N-[4-Bromo-2-(1-hydroxy-1-thien-2-ylethyl)phenyl]-2-chloroacetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(2-amino-5-bromo-phenyl)-1-thiophen-2-yl-ethanol (3.9 g, 13 mmol) in a mixture of anhydrous THF and diethyl ether (20 mL/20 mL) at 0° C. under nitrogen was added triethyl amine (4 mL, 28.7 mmol) and chloroacetyl chloride (1.6 mL, 20 mmol). After addition, the reaction mixture was slowly warmed to room temperature (rt), stirred for 3 h, and treated with a cold 1N hydrogen chloride aqueous solution (70 mL). Ethyl acetate (100 mL) was added and organic layer separated, dried (Mg2SO4), concentrated to yield the title compound as a white solid (4.7 g, 94%). 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 10.78 (s, 1H), 8.05 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 7.51 (dd, J=8.7, 2.2 Hz, 1H), 7.43 (d, J=5.0 Hz, 1H), 7.37 (m, 2H), 6.95 (m, 1H), 6.88 (dd, J=3.4, 0.8 Hz, 1H), 4.26 (d, J=6.9 Hz, 2H), 1.94 (s, 3H).
