N-Acetylation of Amines in Continuous-Flow with Acetonitrile—No Need for Hazardous and Toxic Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Keyword(s):
Scale Up
◽
A continuous-flow acetylation reaction was developed, applying cheap and safe reagent, acetonitrile as acetylation agent and alumina as catalyst. The method developed utilizes milder reagent than those used conventionally. The reaction was tested on various aromatic and aliphatic amines with good conversion. The catalyst showed excellent reusability and a scale-up was also carried out. Furthermore, a drug substance (paracetamol) was also synthesized with good conversion and yield.
