Acetic Anhydride → 1-(2-(4-Bromophenyl)azetidin-1-yl)ethanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-(4-bromophenyl)azetidine (200 mg, 0.808 mmol) and triethylamine (98 mg, 0.97 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (6 mL) was added acetic anhydride (200 mg, 0.97 mmol). The mixture was stirred at rt for 5 hours. The mixture was poured into ethyl acetate and washed with water. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound (100 mg, 49% yield) as a yellow oil that was taken on without further purification.
