Acetic Anhydride → HCID 13257591, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 75 ml of pyridine was dissolved 28.2 g of 2-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-3a-hydroxy-1-thioxo-octahydroisoindole-3-one, and 30 ml of acetic acid anhydride was added to the solution, which was allowed to stand at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was dissolved in dichloromethane, washed with water and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After distilling off the dichloromethane, the resulting crystals were washed with a small amount of cold ethanol and dried, thereby affording 25.2 g (yield of 95%) of the subject compound. Recrystallization from ethanol yielded red-purple crystals, m.p. 101°-102° C.
