Acetic Anhydride → N-{2-phenyl-2-[(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]hexyl}acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 100 mL flask stirring under nitrogen was charged 2.58 g (0.010 mole) of 2-phenyl-2-[(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]-1-hexylamine and 15 mL of acetic anhydride. To the mixture was added 1.5 mL of pyridine and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. After GLC indicated the reaction was complete, it was quenched with 20 mL of water and 100 mL of ether after the acetic anhydride and pyridine were removed under vacuum. The residue was dissolved in ether and washed with 2×50 mL water and 2×50 mL of saturated sodium bicarbonate. The organic phase was dried, concentrated and gave 2.68 g (89.3% yield) of a solid, melting point 112°-115° C.
