Acetyl chloride → HCID 66649177, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 4-(7-(2-fluoro-4-nitrophenoxy)benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine 268 (400 mg, 1.08 mmol) and DIPEA (0.207 mL, 1.19 mmol) in DCM was added acetyl chloride (0.15 mL, 2.16 mmol) at room temperature and the mixture (that turned homogeneous soon after) was stirred for 1 h. The crude mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue purified by flash chromatography (5% MeOH to 10% MeOH in DCM) affording 269 (358.2 mg, 0.87 mmol, 80% yield) as a white solid. MS (m/z): (M+1) 414.4 (100%).
