2-bromo-N-propylacetamide

Conditions: temp:70.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 4-(3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one (100 mg, 0.308 mmol) in acetonitrile (15 mL) was added potassium carbonate (127 mg, 0.925 mmol) and 2-bromo-N-propylacetamide (110 mg, 0.616 mmol) and the resultant reaction mixture was heated to 70° C. for 16 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to RT, filtered through celite and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 0-45% ethyl acetate in pet ether) to afford the title compound as a solid (40 mg, 30.7%). the resultant reaction mixture The reaction mixture was cooled to RT filtered through celite the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 0-45% ethyl acetate in pet ether)
