Pyridine → N-(4-Iodophenyl)acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Iodoaniline (11.0 g, 50.4 mmol) was dissolved in 60 mL of ethyl acetate and the solution was added with 10 mL of acetic anhydride (10.8 g, 106 mmol) and 7.8 mL of pyridine (7.65 g, 99.4 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours with an equipment of a CaCl2 tube. A solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain 4-iodoacetanilide (yield: 13.0 g, percent yield: 99.0%).
