Ammonium Acetate → HCID 22316662, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The mixture of 2-acetoxy-1-(4-bromophenyl)-2-[3-fluoro-4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-1-ethanone (743.7 mg, 1.733 mmol) and ammonium acetate (333.9 mg, 4.333 mmol) in acetic acid (15 mL) was heated at reflux temperature for 2.5 hours, and cooled down to room temperature. The mixture was evaporated, diluted with ethyl acetate (100 mL), washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution (100 mL×2), water (50 mL), brine (50 mL), dried over MgSO4, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate/hexane (1/2) to provide the subtitle compound (447.1 mg, 63% yield) as a solid.
