Acetyl chloride → HCID 58521962, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-methyl-2-(propylsulfonyl) aniline (Intermediate 228; 6.0 g, 28 mmol) in DCM (100 ml) was added N-methyl morpholine (4.3 g, 42.1 mmol) and Acetyl chloride (2.4 g, 31 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 12 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (200 ml), the organic layer was washed with brine solution and dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica) using petroleum ether/ethyl acetate as eluent to afford the title compound (5.0 g, 70%) as a white solid.
