Acetyl chloride → HCID 112757036, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of methyl 5-amino-2-chloro-4-methoxybenzoate (3.6 g, 16.7 mmol), Et3N (6.7 g, 66.8 mmol) and DCM (100 mL) at RT, acetyl chloride (1.57 g, 20.1 mmol) was added dropwise and the resulting mixture was stirred for 12 h. The reaction mixture was partitioned between dichloromethane and water. The organic layer was washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution and brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (ethyl acetate/petroleum ether=1:1) to afford the desired product (2.7 g, 63% yield).
