Potassium Carbonate → HCID 59658560, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To solution of 3-mercaptobenzoic acid (250 mg, 1.62 mmole) in ethanol (10 ml), anhydrous potassium carbonate (896 mg, 6.48 mmole) was added followed by bromobutyronitrile (239.97 mg, 1.62 mmole). The reaction mixture was refluxed overnight. The ethanol was evaporated and water added. The basic solution was extracted with ethyl acetate. The aqueous layer was acidified and the resulting precipitate filtered and dried to yield 196 mg product. M.S. m/s 220 (M−1)+. 1H NMR (DMSO) δ 1.79 (2H, m, —CH2-), 2.37 (2H, t, —CH2-), 3.02 (2H, t, —CH2-), 7.56 (1H, d, 1×ArH), 7.74 (1H, d, 1×ArH), 7.83 (1H, bs, 1H, 1×ArH).
