Acetyl chloride → HCID 90409744, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 100-mL round bottom flask, equipped with a stir bar, was added methyl 4-acetamido-6-(4-bromo-3-fluorophenyl)-3-chloropicolinate (0.411 g, 1.023 mmol), methanol (5.12 mL) and acetyl chloride (1.45 mL, 20.5 mmol). The reaction was allowed to stir at room temperature for 18 hours. The solvent was removed with a rotary evaporator. The resulting solid was dissolved in 1 N NaHCO3 and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×75 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to afford the title compound as a white solid (0.324 g, 88%).
