synthetic route
Standard laboratory synthesis method (based on literature):
reactant:
Acetyl chloride (1.0 equivalent)
Thiol (1.2 equivalents)
Triethylamine (2.0 equivalents)
4-Dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP, 0.05 equivalents)
Solvent: Dichloromethane (DCM)
Reaction conditions:
Temperature: Slowly drip acetyl chloride at 0 ° C
Heat up to room temperature and continue stirring
TLC monitoring of reaction progress (approximately 2-4 hours)
post-processing
Filter to remove salt precipitates
Reduced pressure concentrated filtrate
Rapid column chromatography purification (silica gel, petroleum ether/ethyl acetate elution)
Yield: The literature is not clear, but it belongs to a highly selective reaction, and the yield is usually>80%
Attention: This reaction should be carried out in a fume hood to avoid contact with thiol odor substances and strong irritant vapors of acetyl chloride.
