Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-chlorobenzoylamino(bromo)acetamide (5.5 g) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (100 ml) containing methyl mercaptan (slight excess) was added 1 equivalent of triethylamine and the mixture kept for 72 hrs. The solution was filtered and the filtrate evaporated to give an oil which solidified on treatment with ether. Crystallisation of the solid from ethyl acetate gave the product (0.67 g).
