Participants

Reaction Steps

In a hydrogenation apparatus was placed 3.1 g of N-(2-carbomethoxy-4-bromo-6-chlorophenyl)acetamide and 100 mL of ethanol. The apparatus was purged with nitrogen and 0.1 g of 10 percent palladium on charcoal was added. The mixture was agitated under a hydrogen atmosphere at 40 psig for 2 hr at ambient temperature. The mixture was filtered to remove the catalyst, and the solvent was removed from the filtrate under reduced pressure. The product was purified by elution from a silica gel column using a gradient of 9:1 to 1:1 methylene chloride : ethyl acetate as the eluent to give 1.8 g of white solid (m.p. 135°-136° C.). 1H NMR (acetoned d6 +CDCl3) δ7.92 (d with fine coupling, 8.0 Hz, lH), 7.74 (d with fine coupling, 8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.46 (t, 8.0 HZ, 1H), 3.98 (s, 3H, OCH3), 2.55 (s, 3H, COCH3).
