Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 22634635, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

20 ml of THF are introduced into a round-bottomed flask and 2.8 ml (35 mmol) of ethylamine solution (70%) are added. A solution of 1.2 g (3.2 mmol) of 3-(3,5,5,8,8-pentamethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthyl)phenylacryloyl chloride in 40 ml of THF is added dropwise and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for one hour. The reaction medium is acidified with hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl ether, and the organic phase is separated out after settling has taken place, dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated. The residue obtained is purified by chromatography on a column of silica eluted with dichloromethane. After evaporation of the solvents, 817 mg (68%) of N-ethyl-3-(3,5,5,8,8-pentamethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthyl)phenylacrylamide are collected, with a melting point of 158-9° C.
