Hydrochloric Acid → N-(6-oxo-5,6-dihydro-phenanthridin-2-yl)-chloroacetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of the HCl salt of 2-amino-6(5H)-phenanthridinone (100 mg, 0.04 mmol) in DMF (5 mL), pyridine (0.5 mL) was added, followed by the addition of chloroacetyl chloride (0.2 mL, 0.002 mol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 to 2 hrs. It was then poured over crushed ice, and the solid obtained was washed thoroughly with cold water. The solid was then dried under vacuum to give N-(6-oxo-5,6-dihydro-phenanthridin-2-yl)-choroacetamide (95 mg, 84%).
