One-Pot Multicomponent Synthesis of β-Acetamido Ketones Based on BiCl₃ Generated in situ from the Procatalyst BiOCl and Acetyl Chloride

Abstract

Aromatic aldehydes react in one pot at room temperature with enolizable ketones and acetonitrile in the presence of acetyl chloride and catalytic amount of BiOCl producing the corresponding β-acetamido ketones in very high to excellent yields. BiCl₃ ­generated in situ from BiOCl and acetyl chloride catalyzes the ­multicomponent reaction.

multicomponent reaction - BiOCl - procatalyst - BiCl₃ - β-acetamido ketone

General Experimental Procedure: To a solution of aldehyde (1 mmol), enolizable ketone (1 mmol) and BiOCl (20 mol%) in dry MeCN (4 mL) MeCOCl (2 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. After completion of the reaction (checked by TLC, Table [1] ) the mixture was diluted with CH₂Cl₂ and washed with brine solution (10 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with CH₂Cl₂ (3 × 5 mL), the pooled organic layer was then washed subsequently with H₂O (1 × 6 mL), NaHCO₃ (1 × 6 mL) and finally with H₂O (1 × 6 mL). The organic layer was dried over Na₂SO₄, concentrated and the residue was purified by column filtration on silica gel.
