Acetyl chloride → N-{4-[(4-fluorophenyl)sulfanyl]phenyl}acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 2.19 g portion of this amine was dissolved in 50 ml of dichloromethane, cooled in an ice bath and treated with 1.52 g of triethylamine. The mixture was then treated dropwise with a solution of 1.18 g of acetyl chloride in 20 ml of dichloromethane over 20 minutes. This mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight, then the solution was washed successively with water, saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, water and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to dryness. The residue was recrystallized from methanol-water, giving 2.26 g of the desired product as colorless crystals, mp 140°-141° C.
