Trifluoroacetic anhydride → HCID 11638094, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-Iodosuccinamide (18.22 g, 0.08 mol), trifluoroacetic acid (100 mL) and trifluoroacetic anhydride (25 mL) were added to 2-isobutoxynicotinic acid (10.55 g, 0.054 mol). The mixture was refluxed for 2.5 h, cooled and the solvents evaporated. The residue was extracted from water with ethyl acetate and the organics washed with water (twice) and brine (twice), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. The red residue was redissolved in ethyl acetate washed with sodium thiosulfate solution (twice), water (twice), brine (twice), redried (MgSO4) and concentrated to give the desired product as a yellow solid.
