Reaction Steps

A solution of 26 ml of methyl isopropylamine in 100 ml of ether was added to a solution of 10 ml of bromo acetyl bromide in 150 ml of ether cooled to −20° C. and the mixture was allowed to return to 20° C. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at 20° C. and diluted with water, decanted and extracted with ether. The extracts were dried and separated out by distillation to obtain 13 g of the expected product with a boiling point of 71° C. to 72° C. under 1 mmHg.
