Reaction Steps

To a mixture of cyclopropyl(3-methoxyphenyl)amine (1.52 g, 9.3 mmol), KOH (1.57 g dissolved in 8 mL H2O) and EtOAc (15 mL) at 0° C. was added dropwise, with vigorous stirring, chloroacetyl chloride (1.12 mL, 14.0 mmol). The mixture was stirred for additional 30 minutes, washed with water (3×350 mL), concentrated and purified on silica gel (CH2Cl2/hexane, 1:1) to provide 2-chloro-N-cyclopropyl-N-(3-methoxy-phenyl)acetamide as a solid (1.80 g, 81%).
