Reaktionsschritte

Chloroacetylchloride (13.55 g, 120 mmol) was dropped into a solution of 2-phenylethylamine (12.12 g, 100 mmol), sodium bicarbonate (10.6 g, 126 mmol) in dichloromethane (100 ml) under ice cooling and the mixture was stirred for 2 hours. After addition of ice-water, the organic layer was separated and washed with 1N hydrochloric acid and brine. The solvents were removed under reduced pressure and the residue was recrystallized from mixture of water (20 ml) and methanol (30 ml) to afford 2-chloro-N-phenethyl-acetamide (18.33 g, 93%).
