Dichloromethane → 5'-Chloro-4-ethoxy-2'-hydroxy-3-thiophenecarboxanilide

Participants

Reaction Steps

An 8.8 g. portion of 4-ethoxy-3-thiophenecarbonyl chloride is dissolved in 100 ml. of methylene chloride and added dropwise to a mixture of 6.6 g. of 5-chloro-2-hydroxyaniline in 100 ml. of methylene chloride and 6.5 ml. of triethylamine. This mixture is stirred at ambient temperature overnight, concentrated to 100 ml. and filtered. The filtrate is allowed to stand overnight and the precipitate which forms is collected, washed with water and dried in vacuo. This combined precipitate is recrystallized from 200 ml. of ethanol, treated with charcoal, filtered through diatomaceous earth and concentrated giving 5'-chloro-4-ethoxy-2'-hydroxy-3-thiophenecarboxanilide as red brown crystals.
