Sodium Hydroxide → 2-(4-fluorophenylthio)-N-cyclohexyl-N-phenylacetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 4-fluorothiophenol (0.13 mL, 1.2 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (4 ml) was added aqueous 15% sodium hydroxide. 2-Chloro-N-cyclohexyl-N-phenylacetamide (320 mg, 1.3 mmol) was added, and the solution was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue purified on a preparatory plate using 20% ethyl acetate/hexanes to furnish 2-(4-fluorophenylthio)-N-cyclohexyl-N-phenylacetamide as a white solid. (M+1)=343.9.
