One POT synthesis of N-(2-nitrophenyl) acetamide

Abstract

The project was merely focusing on to carry out the disconnection approach, with existing Tylenol (acetaminophen) to develop the sustainable protocol, on one-pot synthesis. The extensive literature survey projected the background data of work done on Tylenol and its derivatives, by adopting different chemical methods, our study prime focused on to design the sustainable protocol by applying the one-pot methodology, with N-Acetylation using Mg-acetate which was the first time approach. It is also observed that the use of a catalytic amount of Mg-acetate in acetic acid is sufficient enough for smooth running of N-acetylation reactions. The procedure was chemoselective with respect to phenols, acids and alcohols. Herein we reported a simple, efficient, costeffective and environmentally benign alternative method for N-acetylation of amines using catalytic amount of Magnesium acetate in I mole of acetic acid under rotation on magnetic stirrer for 1hr at 250rpm. The reaction procedure requires no other solvent and it was a rapid process with good to excellent yields. The synthesized molecular structure was confirmed by FT-IR, NMR, and Mass spectral data during XRD-analytical diffraction scan, which suggested the complete agreement on key functionality identification structure of the molecule using powdered diffractometer preliminary analysis, the data scanned and calculated accurately with 2􀟠 coverage the detection of good reflections was noted and hence we prove, on the basis of spectra the stereochemistry of functionality was different from existing Tylenol the toxicity study and biological screening are under process in our laboratory. This project would be the novel method in the future for development of antipyretic antiviral molecules if it gave positive results for the activity.
