Phenylacetyl chloride → HCID 57677346, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Phenylacetyl chloride (0.93 ml) was dissolved in acetonitrile (5 ml) under a nitrogen atmosphere, and then potassium thiocyanate (137 mg) was added thereto at 60° C., followed by stirring at the same temperature for 3 hrs. The reaction mixture was cooled down to room temperature, and then a solution of 4-(4-amino-2-chlorophenoxy)-2-[(morpholin-4-yl)carbonylamino]pyridine (164 mg) in acetonitrile (5 ml) was added thereto, followed by stirring at room temperature for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate. The organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate and brine in this order, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under a reduced pressure to give a residue, which was then purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent; hexane:ethyl acetate=1:4, then ethyl acetate). Fractions containing the target compound were concentrated to give a residue, to which hexane/ethyl acetate (1/5) was added to suspend. The resultant solid was filtered off and dried under aeration to provide the titled compound (115 mg, 47%) as pale yellow powder.
