Chloroacetyl chloride → HCID 14371415, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a chilled (5° C.) mixture of 6.5 g of (4-amino-5-methylisoxazol-3-yl)phenylmethanone, 65 ml of 2N sodium carbonate, 163 ml of a saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate, and 150 ml of dichloromethane was added, dropwise, 5.1 ml of chloroacetyl chloride. The resulting mixture was stirred for one hour, diluted with dichloromethane and water, and separated. The organic phase was washed with a saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated to an oil. Flash chromatography of the oil (20% ethyl acetate/hexane as the eluent) afforded 7.15 g of N-(3-benzoyl-5-methylisoxazol-4-yl)chloroacetamide, m.p. 86°-88° C.
