Acetic Anhydride → N-(2-Bromo-5-nitrophenyl)acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.8 g of 2-bromo-5-nitroaniline are dissolved in 18 mL of acetic anhydride in a microwave oven reactor. After hermetically closing the reactor and reacting for one hour at 60° C. under microwave irradiation, the solid is filtered off and then washed with three times 10 mL of diethyl ether and dried to give 3 g of N-(2-bromo-5-nitrophenyl)acetamide in the form of a beige-coloured solid, the characteristics of which are as follows:
