Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2-Amino-5-chlorobenzamide (1.10 g, 6.5 mmol, 1 eq.), 1.000 N NaOH (6.50 mL, 6.5 mmol, 1 eq.) and THF (20 mL) were mixed and stirred at 0° C. To this mixture was added butyryl chloride dropwise (0.68 mL, 6.50 mmol, 1 eq.). More acid chloride and base were added to drive reaction to completion. The reaction was allowed to warm to rt. After 4 days the reaction was worked up by adding ethyl acetate, washing with 1 N HCl (3×), saturated sodium bicarbonate (1×), and brine (1×). The organic layer was dried and stripped to yield 1.44 g of a white powder as product. LCMS detects (M+H)+=241.0.
